Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Luke chapter 13 verses 18 through 21:
18 He said therefore, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? And to what should I compare it? 19It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.’
20 And again he said, ‘To what should I compare the kingdom of God? 21It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.’
The God Movement is small and hidden at first and yet amazing in its potential, stunning in its potency. Just a little yeast leavens the whole loaf. A tiny seed is planted and in time it bursts forth through the ground, even the foundations of the mightiest edifices.
Jesus is teaching his disciples to begin to see and believe in the power within themselves. The power of organization over oppression. The power of truth over falsity. The power of love over hate. It’s all hidden — underground, in the loaf — but it’s active, and it’s potential is incredible. And it’s power is unstoppable.
