Daily Reflection: In this particular teaching, yeast is equivalent to evil. If you know anything about yeast, you know that it is a small ingredient that lies hidden within the unbaked dough of bread. Over time, however, this yeast causes a reaction that makes the whole loaf of bread rise. In this teaching, Jesus compares yeast to the Pharisees, in that this evil is seeded in a small way, but will eventually infect the whole. Jesus’ concern for his family is so great that he seeks to deal with the yeast for the protection of the wholeness of his eternal family.
Daily Demonstration: Bad thoughts and desires can begin with small seeds. Before you know it, however, those negative attributes can affect the whole of your life. In some cases, even in the lives of those around you. Today is a good day to begin to discover what kinds of “yeast” may be lurking in your heart. Ask Jesus to remove these seeds and replace them with his compassion and character.

The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
