What happensPermalink
Jesus comments on tragedies. The parables of the barren fig tree. A woman with a demon. Comparing the kingdom of God to a mustard seed and a leavened lump of flour. Strive to enter the narrow way. Jesus laments Jerusalem.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus gives his followers many different images of the kingdom of God to help them and us understand it in different ways: a redeemable fruit tree, a mustard seed, a narrow gate.
Key versePermalink
He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?”
