Old and New
Jesus had performed many miracles in the presence of His disciples. Two concerning bread and feeding the people.
Why did the disciples immediately think of physical bread when Jesus warned them about the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod?
The disciples are not much different than we are. They were still thinking of worldly things. The old way of thinking
Jesus was trying to open up the Kingdom of God and a new way of thinking, but they were still clinging to the Law.
This is how they grew up. It was all they knew up to this point in their life.
Are you clinging to what you know? What you grew up like?
The patterns of this world?
Jesus is the bread of life. He is the only source that can truly satisfy our hungry soul.
“Boasting over your tolerance of sin is inappropriate. Don’t you understand that even a small compromise with sin permeates the entire fellowship, just as a little leaven permeates a batch of dough? So remove every trace of your “leaven” of compromise with sin so that you might become new and pure again. For indeed, you are clean because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us. So now we can celebrate our continual feast, not with the old “leaven,” the yeast of wickedness or bitterness, but we will feast on the freshly baked bread of innocence and holiness.”
1 Corinthians 5:6-8 TPT
