‏ Luke 13:18-21

Summary for Luke 13:18-21: 13:18-21 ^a The parables of the mustard seed and the yeast reveal the nature of the Kingdom of God. Like a mustard seed, it grows from a tiny size until it becomes large; like yeast leavening dough, it permeates the entire world.
13:19 ^b the birds make nests: The birds represent people who find the Kingdom to be a place of protection and security.
13:21 ^c It is like the yeast: Leaven can represent evil (see 12:1 ^d; 1 Cor 5:6 ^e; Gal 5:9 ^f), but here it is a positive image of the permeating, transforming power of the Kingdom.
