Theology’s Leaven
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Matthew 5:17-18
For too long, our theology has been laid out by theologians, and not by children. Ask any eight-year old what it means that the Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven hidden in dough means, and they’ll tell you that it means, more or less, that the Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven! It takes a real grown-up to tell you, after reading the words of Jesus, that the Kingdom of Heaven is anything other than what He just said it was.
What does the Kingdom resemble? A little bit of yeast! (Matthew 13:33). What must we do to have life within ourselves? Eat and drink His blood (John 6:53). Simple, eh?
