Yeast and Bread

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
Genesis 6:5 NIV

“Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”
Mark 8:15 NIV

If you look around, you'd find the hearts of men are still the same as they were in the times of Noah. We have eyes, yet we do not see, and with our ears, we do not hear. Perhaps because it's all become about ourselves and this is the leaven Jesus warns us about. "I haven't committed murder" you'd say, but look inward and see how many times you've slept angry and bitter at someone. What yeast does to bread, pride and self-righteousness can do to our souls.

I pray that God our Father opens your heart to the wisdom of His ways so that in the teachings of Jesus you will find your way home as you become Christ-like. May His Holy Spirit be your help. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
