Have you understood all of this?

Here's this week's short Bible study blog entry for i.ucc:

God’s neighborhood is like:

• A mustard seed
• Yeast
• A merchant in search of fine pearls
• A net thrown into the sea
• The master of a household

You get it, right?

Sure!

Not.

This week’s Bible reading from Matthew 13: 31-33, 44-52 gives us more opportunities to get confused and then start talking about what we think it means. Here’s a little of what I think when I read:

• The Mustard seed: It seems so little – but it has so much to offer!
• Yeast: It lifts you up!
• The merchant: It knows what is worthwhile
• The net: It includes everyone.
• The master: Realizes the worth of everyone.

What are you thinking?
