Mark Series Part 32, Mark 8:14-21 “The Yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod”

 

This week as we approach the halfway point of our journey through Mark’s Gospel, Sean reflects on a curious warning that Jesus gave to his disciples, “Beware the Yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod”. It sounded obscure to his disciples at the time, to the extent they completely missed it, being more worried about whether they’d brought food for the journey. As we’ll discover, for Mark, this warning pulled a lot of the threads together of the subversive nature of the Kingdom of God that Jesus had been talking about and demonstrating among all who he met on the road. ————————————————————— You can also read the relevant bible passage, Mark 8:14-21 online at: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...
