Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Matthew 16:6?, ?8?, ?11 NIV He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.” Matthew 13:33 NIV Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 1 Corinthians 5:7 NIV Can one see the Pharisees and Sadducees of this time We have available a new yeast Which works its way through the beast Casting him to the outside With new vision to see false teachings which give Praise to themselves for they Love praise of mankind They teach of worldly things in the flesh Even the division in churches standing for Christ When it's within we need the division For Christ spirit to circumcise old self To create a new batch of Children of God Jesus came as a servant Humble, He walked that we might receive life Not seeking praise of man But with humility and sorrow Giving His life for our sinful nature Which holds one in chains of death A true narrow path to return Creating a new unleavened batch Which is given new vision and understanding That we might return to God through Christ spirit that transforms the mind and heart Get rid of the old covenant of laws of man Which were placed to give one an example of sin Mankind can not please God in own works If so Jesus death was in vain But through Christ we have opportunity Through His spirit to please God Not of our works but through Christ reigning within Teaching and ridding out the yeast of false teachings from deceivers. That we might grow from the new yeast of Christ Jesus was talking in spirit and truth His word is spiritual to give one The truth that the flesh does not comprehend For flesh is focused on worldly things While the spirit is focused on things within and above With an outpouring of love , joy ,peace Comfort, guidance, humility, gentleness and truth. You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” Galatians 5:7?-?9 NIV

Indeed we have "new yeast," Stephen. And through this fresh yeast the opportunities to raise a fresh bread of life. Thank you for this lovely poem of faith. Blessings!

All glory to God, thanks for your comments, but indeed it's the spirit from Christ that I wish to represent, not of my own works are will. May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance
