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
