You were running well; who prevented you from obeying the truth? Such persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. A little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough. I am confident about you in the Lord that you will not think otherwise. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty. But my brothers and sisters, why am I still being persecuted if I am still preaching circumcision? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. I wish those who unsettle you would castrate themselves! (Galatians 5:7-12, NRSVue)
Who led you astray?
And to think of this differently, who are you leading astray?
Your leaven can change a lot or inspire others to stay the course with Jesus.
Who are you preventing from following Jesus?
Because we need to stay the course and help others follow Jesus.
