Today’s the day when in 1961 a little-known group called The Beatles played their first gig as house band at The Cavern Club in Liverpool. Over the next two years they made 292 appearances at the club and the rest…as they say… is history. Who would have guessed what a worldwide phenomenon would emerge from those humble beginnings? And who would have guessed what a worldwide impact a teacher with humble origins in Galilee would have? In Mark chapter 4 Jesus says:
The kingdom of God… is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.
Some people despise Jesus for his humble origins because they have not discovered that God loves to take small things and make something great out of them. Maybe there are some small actions you do today that will have a big effect in God’s purposes.
