CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

The Kingdom of God

Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?” — Luke 13:18

Jesus’ vision and the people’s vision were not the same. The people imagined the kingdom of God was more like their ancient kingdom of Israel ­under King David and his son Solomon. Or maybe even like the Roman Empire, which spread rapidly through its vast military might and also built great cities.

Jesus focused his listeners on the tiny mustard seed; (Mustard is a small, slow-growing seed) saying that this was what the kingdom of God was like. This probably shattered the dreams of instant success that so many of the people wanted v19.

Jesus taught that although God’s kingdom might seem to have insignificant beginnings, it grew with the subtle, hidden power of grace and love and would eventually spread throughout the earth as an unstoppable force until it achieved its purpose v20-21.

What an honor to be part of such a great Kingdom.

PRAYER

Lord, empower me with the right understanding of the kingdom as I grow in faith each day. In Jesus' name Amen.
