Hypocritical Yeast

Luke 12:1-3   
1 In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

When the accusers were done, Jesus warned His followers to watch out for hypocrisy in their own lives.  He warned them that in the end they cannot hide the thoughts and intents of their hearts, which God's word reveals now and the rest when we die and stand before Him.  What words we say and deeds we do will all be seen for what they are - so we must live rightly and transparently before God and man.
