A bit of leaven…
The other day I had some skin cancer removed from my face…just a typical yearly dermatologist appointment turned into a different day…and I wasn’t even asking about the place the doctor saw…
What was a tiny little spot grew and grew as they dug out the cancerous tissue…
My question was, “how can you tell what is good tissue versus the bad…?”
“The good is solid, like a cat’s tongue…the bad is like jello, giving away easily.”
So there you have it…quick and concise…
We have heard the word, “cancer” several times in our family, melanoma, prostate, colon, skin, esophageal, brain, lung, liver…to name a few, not something you like to hear, but, it is part of this decaying world…
What I was thinking as the doctor was cutting, scraping and stitching on my face (you have to think of something besides all the needles and blood, the doctor tried some jokes, but you can’t laugh)was the story of leaven…
“When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Matt.16.5-12
The “leaven “ of the Pharisees was their teaching …
“The corrupt principles and practices of the Pharisees and Sadducees are compared to leaven; they were souring, and swelling, and spreading, like leaven; they fermented wherever they came.”Matthew Henry’s Commentary
A cancer,so-to-speak, of teaching…
We want the good teaching that produces growth and health…not the bad which leads to destruction…
Thank YOU…
Heal me…
