‏ Luke 13:18

The Widow of Nain

In this section, Jesus uses two short parables to describe how the kingdom of God grows and spreads. People did not really understand what God’s kingdom would be like. Many expected it to be powerful and sudden, but Jesus explained it would start small and grow quietly, changing lives from the inside out. He used simple examples so everyone could understand.

v. 18: Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?”He wanted to help people see that God’s kingdom is very different from what they imagined (Luke 13:18 a).
