“He warned them, “Take heed. Beware of
the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.” Mark 8:15
Our example of a servant,
the Lord Jesus, always warned his disciples about the danger of bad influences,
so that they would not be contaminated by the hypocrisy of the Pharisees.
Yeast represents evil and
corruption because it has the power to alter the dough, just as sin alters
genuine faith.
In the same way Jesus
warns us to watch, to flee from bad conversations, and from people who can
contaminate our faith with our words and actions.
How many people have
already given up the path of faith? Simply by joining others who were
spiritually bad and subtly injecting poison into their innocent hearts. When that
person realized it he/she had already bad eyes, bad feelings, bad thoughts and
full of malice.
Watch out! Sometimes the
wolves come dressed in sheep just to destroy you.
As it is very clear in the
above verse, we must guard ourselves. It is we who decide with whom we come
together and who we listen to. It is not God who will keep us from these
people, it’s us! From the moment we do not join them, we do not listen to them,
and we do not follow them.
Do not forget what I
always teach here on the blog. If it's not good for your faith, and it's not
good for you, so run away!
I would like you to leave
your comment bellow. Who has already given up on faith because h/she allowed
himself/herself to be contaminated by someone who was spiritually evil?
