Leaven Grace

                                                              Matthew 13:33
                                         "The Kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven"

          What does leaven and heaven have in common.  Well let's see, they sound alike and there almost spelled alike but, leaven is an agent and heaven is a place. The parable that Jesus used, were a women took and hid leaven in meal, till the whole was leavened. Let's take this and see why they are so mush alike. The bread was made hole by the leaven being put in the meal.  Notice that Jesus said, she hid the leaven in three measures of meal until it was made hole. What happen to the meal? The leaven caused it to pervade with a lightening, enlivening, or modifying influence.
         Now let's see the heaven side of Jesus parable. The Gospel of Jesus is like hidden leaven in mankind. It became powerful by it's host; The Lord Jesus, who's works no one can hinder. That would be the heart were all things enter the soul. Change starts to happen and it spreads and begins to alter from inside out. Now what about the three measures of meal? Here's the good part; It took three measures to make the meal hole (Complete).  Jesus was in the middle of the earth for three days, than on the third day He arose He had defeated death and hell. The Grace of God was made complete. Our sin debt was paid in full and our salvation made complete.
