Seen any good kingdoms lately? Even the wonderful fairy tale versions are just shallow facades of God's Kingdom. (Luke 13:18-14:6)
As Jesus is describing the mustard seed and yeast analogies, we get a sense of life. And life that can multiply and grow amazingly. Also this life works and grows in secret. We sure don't see the beginning of the seed under ground or yeast in the dough.
But what we do see are the results. The tree life embraces birds and gives shelter and protection. At our place we see great oaks that have supported playful squirrels, hummingbirds, numerous insects, one large snake, honey bees and several tree house variations.
Yes, in God's kingdom there is life in abundance. Thank you Lord for inviting us into Your realm.
