Brad Sullivan Proper 12, Year A July 30, 2017 Emmanuel, Houston Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52 A Woman Made Bread, and Jesus Said, “This Is My Body” Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to “yeast that a woman took and mixed in with tree measures of flower until all of it was leavened.” Bread. The kingdom of heaven is like bread, the yeast mixing with the flour, helping it all grow together, the hands of God working to knead the dough and bake it, transforming it from something gooey and inedible, to something delicious and life-giving. God gives life and forms people in the Kingdom of Heaven, transforming us from one thing into another. Like God took clay and formed it into Adam’s body and transformed it into a living being, so did a woman knead and shape dough to make bread, which Jesus took, and broke, and gave to his friends and said, “this is my body.” We are called the Body of Christ live here
