THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 42: Beware of the Leaven |
|
Political leaders are often self-serving and blind to
the interests of others and this would describe the Pharisees when
they came to Jesus seeking a sign of His divinity. The Son of God
abruptly told them the only sign they would receive was that of
Jonah and his message of repentance. Unfortunately, the
not-so-subtle hint was lost on them. The God-man called them wicked
and adulterous, referring to their embrace of the Kabbalah and the
Talmud. The Son of God warned against the leaven of the Pharisees
and Sadducees because He knew they would attempt to neutralize and
destroy His teachings. Jesus had the ability to read minds; He knew
what the disciples thought of Him, but wanted them to openly confess
it. Peter responded that the God-man was the Messiah. That
revelation knowledge is still true since the Son of God is the
foundation and cornerstone of Christianity. |
