Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, as you really are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Corinthians 5:6b-8 NRSV)
A little bit of yeast works it way through all of the dough…
That means a little bit of your actual self works into all of your life. You can not hide the thoughts and actions of your heart…
Christ did not want to do what He did in His humanness. He asked the Father 3 times to remove the cup from Him, to find a different way, to make His plan work without His death. Yet finally He said “Not my will but yours be done…”
Can you say “Not my will but yours be done” and mean it? Do you do things that on the outside look like they are for the kingdom but are really for you? Then your yeast will work it’s way to the top and it will be known.
Give your treasure to God, give your life to God and do everything for Him. That way others will see Him, and be drawn to Him.
