And again He said, Whereunto shall I liken the Kingdom of God?
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till
the whole was leavened. (Luke 13:20-21)
This lesson discusses the need for evangelism, explains the process of evangelism, and
defines terms that are important for you to understand as you begin your study of this
subject. In Old Testament times when the temple was built, the sound of a hammer, axe,
or any tool of iron was not heard while it was being constructed (I Kings 6:7).
The silence with which those great natural stones were put into place is a natural example
of a great spiritual truth. A "greater than Solomon" is now building a greater spiritual
temple. This spiritual temple is made up of "living stones" being laid by the Lord Jesus
Christ. This temple also is being erected silently, with each stone perfectly fitted
together. It is occurring through the silent but powerful process of "leaven-like
evangelism."
