The Seed

I am currently doing the Tim Keller study on Mark and today I'm reading Mark 4:3-9 and this is what TK says about the Kingdom of God:

"Jesus' kingdom will conquer through love and service, not force, through sweet persuasion, not coercion, and it will prodice loving obedience, not slavery, and therefore it will transform completely, not superficially. Jesus' kingdom is more like a seed on the heart than a boulder on the head. The boulder smashes from the outside, the seed penetrates to the inside. The entry of a seed is the most gentle of procedures."

I just love the reality of the kingdom of Jesus. He is patient and loving and I need that!
