Soundbite after soundbite after soundbite of the kingdom. Here is Jesus with his best one-liners hardly giving people a chance to think about one image before he tumbles into another. And it's all about small things and growth. Not about managing decline (wee lesson to the church).
With what shall we compare the Kingdom of God:
It's like finding the penny policy you've been paying into for a generation is now worth more than a bankers bonus...
It's like finding the dream you had one night keeps you awake the next night and is crowding out your daylight hours too...
It's like seeing your one year old daughter grow into a woman and know she's able to take on the world...
It's like being kind to one person who passes on the generosity until the whole church is teaming with compassion...
It's like a Chinese whisper that starts with one word "light' and grows to become the whole story of faith...
It's like a loaf of bread that is broken once and then again and again and again, enough to feed a whole community...
It's like a song that starts with only one line and finishes in a symphony...
It's like a mustard seed, a pearl, yeast, a net and becomes more than anyone bargained for...
It's like the journey of faith, that starts with one step and just keeps on going with one adventure after another...
It's like a silence that makes others pause and hold breath until a whole nations reflects on what it has done...
And please don't let the list stop there. Please add some more...
