Haiku of the kingdom
Agricultural
metaphors abound: seeds, growth
and much fruitfulness.
Here is the kingdom;
seed is scattered on the ground,
grows in ways unseen.
How does the seed grow?
Who can understand? Who cares,
we’ll still harvest it!
Again, the kingdom
is like a mustard seed; small,
but great potential!
A home for the birds;
a great outcome for this seed,
small and unacclaimed.
Parables sneak up,
catching hearers by surprise;
life-giving wisdom.
Great story-telling
Jesus! Drawing us in, and
disturbing our thoughts!
