Luke 13:18-21
Jesus
said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a
mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden. When it was fully
grown, it became a large bush and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.”
Again he
said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a
woman took and mixed
in with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was
leavened.

Reflection:
Can we suppress the growth of the
kingdom of God in our lives? Yes, we can suppress it that’s why many of us do
not grow in faith. But as far as Jesus is concerned He surely wants us to allow
the kingdom of God to grow and blossom in us so that through us others would
benefit from it.
How wonderful it is if we only
take time to share whatever knowledge that we have about Jesus. If we do so we
surely can make a big impact in others life. By sharing Jesus we can give hope
to the hopeless and we can give life to the lifeless in spirit.
Through our baptism God plants
the seed of our faith. As we grow-up we start to have an awareness of our
spiritual identity. Some of us nurture this spiritual identity by thirsting for
Jesus until it blossoms in our lives. Others would simply ignore this tiny seed
of faith that Jesus had planted; this is perhaps the reason why some of us do
not grow in faith.
