Matthew 13_33
September 23
Happy Sunday Everyone,
The scripture for today is Matthew 13:33
Matthew 13:33 Another parable spoke He unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Through Christ, God deposits His kingdom into the heart of everyone who receives Him. The presence of the power of His Word works continuously until the entire being is transformed into the likeness of Christ. Initially it may look as if no transformation has taken place, but while leaven, to the naked eye, does not work instantly, it works powerfully. Every corner and crevice of the soul is permeated with the power of God's transforming grace and anyone so touched is changed into the likeness and image of Christ. The power of the leaven takes over and the meal has to yield to its influence. By yielding we are changed, and changed completely. In time, all will see and know that leaven is present. "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" Colossians 1:27 Through the power of God through Christ Jesus, we become the light of the world "A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid" Matthew 5:14 The world will see Christ as we are changed into His likeness and reflect the light of His character for all to see.
God bless you as you continue in His service.
Tim
