" The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
What do three measures of meal signify. The Spirit has given us a clue. Each measure of it signifies body spirit and soul respectively as you find Abraham does. One measure as adequate for each of the three. " And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth."(Ge.18:6) He sets it before Trinity and they did eat. "and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
The leaven in the Parable refers to the doctrine of Christ. our lives are hid in Christ 'till the whole was leavened'. It points our abiding life in Christ till 'that mortality might be swallowed up of life'.(2 Co.5:4)
