What is the Kingdom of God like?
"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.” (Luke 13: 18 - 21).
Tuesday, 31st October 2023 of the 30th Week of Ordinary Time.
“What is the Kingdom of God like?"
The Kingdom of God can be compared to many things. You can compare it to the yeast that leavens dough, to a fishing net that catches all types of fish. The Kingdom of God has been compared to a wedding feast.
Do you have a favorite comparison of the Kingdom of God?
My favorite comparison is this:
"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.”
About twenty-five years ago, Jesus Christ the Farmer planted a tiny mustard seed of the Kingdom of God in the soil of my heart. That seed grew and gave birth to the Blessed Virgin Mary in my heart. The Blessed Virgin Mary Seed grew and gave birth to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit grew and gave birth to the Church, Sacraments, Scripture, Communion of the Saints, Evangelization, etc.
Now the tiny seed planted by the Lord Jesus Christ is becoming a small bush, ready to welcome birds of the sky.
How about you? What is your favorite image of the Kingdom of God?
Prayer is the key and efficient cause of blessings.
"The whole purpose of the Rosary is to lead to this deep experience of Our Lady, who together with Jesus breathes the Spirit into us." (Thomas Keating).
The Great Month of October ends Today. I hope that the Rosary has been the tiny mustard seed that Jesus Christ planted in your heart this October 2023. If you nourish this tiny mustard seed and allow it to grow, what will it become in 10 years, 20 years or 30 years?
