He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.” Luke 13:18 (ESV) We come to Christ rather simply by understanding that we are sinful, that our sin separates us from God, and our sin must be paid for by trusting Jesus to be our Savior. On that day, our focus is simple, the Gospel is simple, and our small world is changed forever. As we continue to spend time with God, enjoying and obeying Him, what started out as a simple relationship becomes an ever-present influence in every area of our life and the lives we touch. What starts out small, in time, gets to be all-encompassing. There is always a growth process that comes after birth, and the wise enjoy the process and relish any opportunity they have to be involved in the process. New or immature believers will act like immature believers. The tragedy is when those who claim to be in the faith for years have not grown, and they continue to act as immature believers. For them, a radical adjustment in their environment would be a wise decision, for we were meant to grow, and cannot enjoy life until we do. |
