Clay in the Hands

How would you describe the Kingdom God?

Is it a place far away that we look to for hope?  A place we go when we die?

That is certainly part of it.

But what if Jesus had more in mind when he talked about the Kingdom of God?

What if Jesus envisioned the Kingdom of God here – on earth – today?

Scripture teaches us that the Kingdom of God is already here.  Jesus brought it to earth.

So how would you describe it today?  Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is like (he always did that – teaching in parables) yeast that when it is mixed into flour makes something beautiful – wonderful bread.

What a powerful image.  Yeast causes dough to rise.  A little yeast affects a lot of flour.  It makes it lighter and without it, bread would not be bread.

That is a picture of the Kingdom of God here on earth.  One Jesus follower affecting the lives of many others – making their lives better, maybe even lightening their load.

As believers, we are all part of God’s Kingdom.  Will you do your part to impact those around you today for the better?

Go be yeast today!

Go be God’s Kingdom!
