Jesus teaches that his kingdom tranforms its surroundings.
Matthew 13:33 33 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching that his Kingdom transforms the things it touches?
Note: In the previous post, the Kingdom grows from small mustard seed into a giant tree. Here the yeast permeates its surroundings transforming them. How can we permeate our world so that it is forever transformed?
“Jesus is Lord” is a radical claim. One in which we pledge our lives to follow him. And yet, most of us ignore the teachings of Jesus. We reimagine him so that he fits neatly into our world instead of letting him change our entire way of being. This blog was a devotional that walked through the gospel of Matthew (and a little into Mark)identifying where we are ignoring Jesus. And inviting him to change us.
