Commentary on Matthew 13:33
Jesus' parable 'The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened' presents the kingdom's permeating influence. Leaven (yeast) works invisibly, gradually, internally, and completely transforms the dough. This teaches the kingdom's transforming power in individuals and society—small beginnings produce total transformation. 'Three measures' is an enormous amount (about 50 pounds), suggesting worldwide impact.
