Matthew 13:33
Another parable spoke he to them; The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal…


It is hid, according to Christ's parable, in MEAL, not amongst stones on which it could have no effect, not amongst iron-filings where a magnet would be better placed, not in the earth where seeds would get better nourishment; but in meal; in that material which has an affinity for it, and upon which it is specially fitted to act. The leaven is placed where it is wanted, where it can work, and where it can work with success. Leaven is not better suited to work in meal than Christ in men's hearts for their salvation.

(J. Clifford, M. A.)
