A Story Jesus Told

The Yeast

From the Gospel of Matthew

Scroll to begin
One — The Flour
FLOUR

Early in the morning, a woman scooped a great amount of flour into her large wooden bowl.

Two — The Tiny Pinch
yeast

Then she pinched just a tiny bit of yeast — and mixed it into all that flour.

Three — Knead and Wait
waiting…

She kneaded and pushed the dough, elbows out. Then she covered the bowl and waited.

Four — While She Waited

While she waited, the sun crossed the window. The yeast did its hidden work — quietly changing everything from inside.

Five — It Rose!

When she came back, the dough had puffed and risen, overflowing the bowl! That tiny yeast had changed everything.

A Small Question

What small thing
makes a whole day better?

The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour.

Matthew 13
A Flower Blooms

A flower bloomed.

You finished The Yeast. Your garden has one more flower in it.
