From little things…

Did you know Jesus says His kingdom is similar?

From little things…

0:00 / 0:00

Last year we moved to a new place which had a huge space for a vegetable garden

So over summer I’ve been weeding, and planting, and sowing, and watering

After some time of watching and waiting finally a crop began to appear

And now we can’t keep up with the amount of tomatoes and other vegetables being produced

Did you know Jesus says His kingdom is similar

For a long time it might look small and like nothing much is happening

Just a small shoot perhaps

But in time from a small seedling a huge tree will grow, so large that it is the biggest of all the trees, with such large branches huge numbers of birds can perch in it

Do you look at Christians or even the church and think it looks fairly small and unimpressive?

Don’t be fooled

Become a part of Jesus’ kingdom now because a day is coming when it will be clear how great His kingdom truly is
