Parable of the Yeast
In Matthew 13:33 and Luke 13:20-21, Jesus shares the parable of the yeast (or leaven). He compares the kingdom of heaven to yeast, which a woman mixes into a large amount of flour until it permeates the entire batch, causing it to rise.
Why do you think Jesus uses everyday examples like yeast to explain spiritual concepts?

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
