The parable of the yeast ~
Yep - another parable. This time the kingdom of heaven is likened to yeast. Yeast is a living organism that feeds on water & flour. We use it to make bread. The interesting thing about yeast, it can stay inactive until it is introduced to water. Then all of the sudden, it comes alive. Isn't that like us? We can stay dormant for years, some of us for our whole lives. But then we are introduced to Jesus & BAM! We are alive.
The other interesting thing about yeast - it has a shelf life. If it goes too long without water, well then it just dies. Hmmmmm . . . that sounds a lot like us too!
The Scripture ends by telling us that Jesus spoke in parables to fulfill prophecy found in Psalm 78:2. These parables are making plain the plans that have been hidden. How awesome is that?
