GOSPEL PARABLES 9 A WOMAN GIVEN EAGLES WINGS  Continuing in the Parables of the three loaves of bread, we saw that there were three stories that contain the phrase ‘Three loaves of bread’, and last week we did the story of Abraham and the judgement upon Sodom and Gomorrah. Today I’m looking more fully at the original three loaves parable of Jesus in Matthew 13:33 ‘The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.’ There is more to this short parable than I first thought or even imagined. The word for ‘hid’ in that verse is egkrypto – encrypted and not the usual word– krypto. What is primarily hidden in the three loaves is the message of the three Persons of the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the lives of God’s people. Jesus uses this word egkrypto which is the only time this word is ever used in the Bible and that compels us to diligently look at each word and ask God what Jesus encrypted for us to decrypt and understand.
