The kingdom of heaven is like the sower scattering seed through the whole world on all kinds of soil.
It is like wheat and weeds growing together.
It's like a mustard seed that takes over your neatly ordered garden, like leaven in dough, like a dragnet bringing in every kind of fish.
It is like a great pearl for which one would give absolutely everything.
A parable sets things next to each other to make a comparison.
And Jesus' wisdom stories set ordinary things together to show us good news, to show us something of how the kingdom of heaven has come near and is breaking into our shared life.
