Catalyst

To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough. –Luke 13:20-21

We are each called to be an active catalyst in this life. Our purpose is to bring glory to Jehovah God through the work of our hands and feet. Through the exercise of our faith via our actions, His glory will indeed rise. We are called upon to be the yeast of this world. Yeast when introduced into the proper environment creates change. Yeast is the active component in the making of bread.

Christ is the bread of life. When we partake in His communion, we eat of that bread which represents His body that is His church. His church is His bride and His church is wedded to Him in a holy matrimony. For that bread to be made, we as His church need to be an active catalyst to making a change in this world. We are to minister to those in our society regardless of how uncomfortable it may make us feel. To be that true catalyst, we need to be willing to step away from our comfort and do so in His name.

There are those in upon the fringes of our society that are often times overlooked and discarded. This world would have you to believe their existence has little meaning. Christ turns this worldly belief upon its head. His ministry directly impacts those who would be considered the least of those amongst us. Regardless of our position in life, the clarion call of Jesus Christ is to serve those that the world would neglect and to do so in a manner of true love.

When we live this type of life, we are indeed being yeast. We are that catalyst that makes a difference for the glory of God. We are displaying our faith through the work of our hands because if we hear the word of God and fail to act upon it, we are no better than those who perpetuate the lie that the lives of many are inconsequential.
