As we conclude our week reflecting on Jesus' short parable in Matthew
13:33 and Luke 13:20-21, let us think together briefly about different
elements in this parable: the kingdom of heaven or God, the leaven hidden,
the three measures of flour, and the leavened bread. Each is significant.
We know the kingdom of Heaven is the church with its very precious
cornerstone, Jesus Christ (Acts 4:11). The kingdom is the one body, the
church of Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:13-18). Notice the
interchangeable nature in these passages of the body, the kingdom, and
the church.
