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

This week’s Bible reading from Matthew 13: 31-33, 44-52 gives offers opportunities to get confused and then start thinking. Here’s are a few thoughts for pondering:

• The mustard seed: It seems so little – but has huge potential
• Yeast: Favors rising over falling
• The merchant: Might miss other valuable things in the search
• The net: It includes everyone.
• The master: A cultural misstep that forgets about the worth of all.

And the possibilities of thought are endless.
