The Yeast of the Pharisees
As they made the crossing over the lake Jesus warned his disciples about those who would seek to mislead them.
Jesus:
Watch out for the Pharisees and Sadducees – they claim maturity and wisdom but they are blind guides, believe me. They have eyes but they do not use them.
Philip:
Lord, I’m afraid we don’t have much food with us – just the one loaf of bread.
Jesus:
What?
Philip:
We just have one loaf of bread. It was Andrew – he forgot to bring the leftovers from the feast.
James:
Seven giant baskets and you somehow overlooked them!
Jesus:
Listen to me – be careful of the yeast of the Pharisees. It will work its way into your lives and corrupt everything. The kingdom is good yeast, giving the whole of life a lift. But the yeast of the Pharisees is deadly.
