Wait for Growth

Passage: Luke 13:18-21

Who would have thought Bill Gates would have got where he did? From the bespeckled, untrendy, nerdy university dropout to the richest man in the world. But the interested observer wouldn’t have been surprised by this at all. You see the signs were there all the way through. There is a clear connection between the Bill Gates of high school days, Bill Gates the Harvard dropout, Bill Gates the co-founder of Microsoft and Bill Gates now richer, on his own, than most countries in the world.

And it is this point of connection and growth that is at the heart of these parables. Between the apparently small beginnings under Jesus ministry here on earth and God’s eternal heavenly kingdom. The connections are there.
