Scripture Union Daily Guide 19th March 2026 – Outline
In this passage, Jesus used two parables to teach about God’s Kingdom. He compares the kingdom of God to a mustard seed (Luke 13:18-19) and yeast (Luke 13:20-21). What do these images reveal about God’s kingdom?
Whereas our generation celebrates speed and numerical size as signs of success in ministry and authentication of God’s call, Jesus shows that God’s Kingdom does not grow suddenly; it starts small, like the mustard seed and yeast, and with time, brings about great transformation.
Read Luke 13:22-30 again. What do you understand Jesus to be saying about who will enter God’s Kingdom and who will be left out?
A proverb says, “All roads lead to Rome!” But Jesus is saying all roads do not lead to eternal life. There is only one way and one door (see John 14:6; John 10:7,9). The narrow door suggests determination, resilience, strictness and urgency in following Jesus. The door will not always be opened (Luke 13:24-25). What are some distractions or assumptions that could keep people from entering (Luke 13:26-27)?
In Luke 13:31-35, Jesus expressed sorrow over those who rejected Him, despite His compassionate effort to save them from destruction.
What Next?
Are there areas of your life where you are resisting Jesus’ call? Are you truly walking in the “narrow way” or merely assuming that you are?
Insight
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Pray and surrender all areas of your life to Jesus afresh. Pray also for all those who are resisting Jesus’ call that they would respond to Him before it is too late for them.
Prayer of Faith
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Matthew 5:8
