IT ALL MAKES SENSE

Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a mustard seed. He intended to show the miraculous way it has grown. The mustard seed was planted by a man. The mustard seed refers to Christianity planted by God. There was an intention behind the emergence of Christianity; it was a divine one. It did not sprout out by chance. God wanted Christianity to be. Not only was it planted, but it grew. First it was just few persons. Jesus launched the idea all by himself through the power of God. The vision, the idea, the dream was in no one else’ mind but his. Having planted it, it was carried forth by men with no position and no prestige. They were not among the mighty people or the noble individuals of their society- just common people. But it grew from there and became a great church- a great movement. Then, birds of the air perched in its branches. Christianity has grown and obviously offered hope to a great multitude of people. People who live in darkness can now come and receive the light of Christ. Those cast down by the complications of this world can now place their burdens down and give a sigh of relief; those held bound by the bondage of the devil can now feel the freedom of Christ right from their bones. The dying can now nurture hope in the resurrection of the dead. Hence, life now has a new meaning with Christianity. “The law and prophets were proclaimed until john. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.” (Luke 16:16). Thank god that you have found your way into the kingdom; that you are part of this happening. You’ve got to deepen yourself into the kingdom of God. Secure a stronger faith in God; get deeper into Christ. Allow the kingdom to change and transform you. Allow the light of the Gospel to penetrate your innermost parts. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come” (2 Cor 5:17).
