Transformation
How might Christ be seeking to catalyze transformation in and through you?
Matthew 13:33
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.”
In another parable, Jesus describes another dimension of the mystery of God’s life among us. Flour is a rather mundane and lifeless substance. On its own, it is messy and possesses little use. However, yeast, a living organism, when added to flour, catalyzes a process of symbiosis as the yeast begins to eat the starches of flour and in turn, produce carbon dioxide that makes the flour leaven–becoming a new thing, dough.
God’s domain is not only a living organism, it’s a catalyst for transformation in our lives and all creation, for seemingly ordinary things to find extraordinary purpose, for raw material to become something that nourishes, for the mundane to arrive as the sacred, for brokenness to see new possibilities, for life to overcome death.
How might Christ be seeking to catalyze transformation in and through you?
