Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is like yeast. As
yeast is worked into the dough and changes its structure positively, so the
gospel is dispersed into societies and changes them from the inside. To mix
the yeast of the gospel into societies, Jesus sent His disciples out to make
disciples of all nations: "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit
has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
Jerusalem is pronounced Yerushalaim in Hebrew. In this city Jesus
was crucified, raised from the dead, and ascended to heaven, and to this
city He will return. In Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit came into the hearts of
believers, inspiring them to spread the gospel worldwide. The Acts and
letters of the apostles show how the yeast spread throughout the Roman
empire in the first century. When the yeast of Yerushalaim has done its
work, Christ will return to renew heaven, earth, and Jerusalem.
