Hear Me Out: What If God Is Like Yeast in the Dough?

Peace Be With You Reader,

​

Why would Jesus compare the Kingdom of God to yeast?

Not a temple. Not a throne.
Not a lightning bolt. Not a mountain.
But yeast—invisible, ordinary, and easily overlooked.

And yet... transformative.

When a small amount of yeast is mixed into flour, it disappears.
You can’t see it anymore.
But it doesn’t stop working.

Yeast works invisibly and from within.
It permeates the entire batch.
Slowly. Quietly. Effectively.

It doesn't just affect part of the dough—it transforms the entire substance.
It causes it to expand.
To rise.
To become more alive, warm, and nourishing.

✨ This is how the Divine moves.

Jesus is showing us that God isn’t waiting in the sky—
God is already working within.

Not loudly. Not forcefully.
But intimately. Silently. Inevitably.

And that’s the whole point:

The Kingdom of God doesn’t crash in from the outside.
It unfolds from the inside.
From a place you can’t always see—but can always feel.

A stirring. A shift. A slow expansion.
Compassion growing where judgment once ruled.
Wisdom rising where confusion once lived.
Peace awakening where chaos used to dominate.

Thomas Aquinas called this kind of knowing Natural Theology—
Not belief passed down, but truth discovered through observation, reason, and the design of life itself.

God isn’t just believed in.
God is experienced.
Felt. Known. Lived.

So what if that rising you feel inside you—the one you can’t explain—isn’t random at all?

What if that’s yeast?
​What if that’s God?

🕊️ Join us for The Theology of Christ to explore how Jesus and Aquinas both point to a Kingdom that doesn’t need to be proven—because it’s already present.
