Have you found yourself stepping on other people in order to get what you want? Maybe it's for recognition at church, a promotion at work, or a gadget at the store you're dying to have. Our hearts tell us to push others aside to get what we think we deserve. Jesus shows a very different way for us to live.

It may seem irreverent to compare Jesus to a chicken. But Jesus does in fact describe himself this way. He says he is like a mother hen longing to gather her chicks under her wings. Jesus has so much compassion on his people that he will be stopped by nothing in his mission save his people. Nothing will stop him from advancing the Kingdom of God.

Have you ever found yourself lost without a map? The natural thing to do is call someone who has access to one. When they give you directions, would you say they were wrong and that you're sure there's a better way? Clearly not! Yet this is often the reaction to Christs claim that he is the only way to God.

From it's small and seemingly insignificant beginning, who would have suspected that the Kingdom of God would grow and spread across the world? It's just like when you plant a tiny seed that turns into a huge tree. You may not notice it growing, but it does.
