But He still takes the time to make sure His +disciples have the teachings they need for future ministry. + +Jesus compares the Pharisees' hypocrisy to leaven, or the action of yeast in +making dough rise. Compared to the rest of the loaf, the amount of sourdough +starter you add is pretty small, but it fills the whole lump with little +pockets of gas, evenly distributed. In the same way, hypocrisy can start out +small, but spread throughout a person's life. + +The Pharisees were very good at their outward religious expressions, but Jesus +tells the disciples that everything they have done, in the dark or in inner +rooms, will be revealed some day. God is not bamboozled or confounded by +flattering lips and flashy lifestyles. He knows all of the inner workings of +your heart, every thought, every attitude. And on Judgement Day, they will be +used to condemn you if Jesus does not count you as one of His own. + +* * * + +Save us, for we are sinners through and through.
