LECTIONARY TALES FOR THE PULPIT
Series III, Cycle A
Catchy quotes help us envision things that are hard to understand. To quote a television preacher: "When you see a seed, envision an apple; when you see an apple, envision an orchard." And "bloom where you are planted." Ordinary images, extraordinary realities.
A tree is quite ordinary. The action of a seed bearing fruit is quite extraordinary. A loaf of bread is quite ordinary. The action of yeast raising the dough is quite mysterious. Jesus used the imagery of ordinary things to explain extraordinary things. Mysterious things.
