Jesus is actually about to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees is what it's called. What does this mean? Leaven is going to correlate to the hypocrisy that the Pharisees have. In the meantime, when so many thousands of people had gathered together and they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed or hidden that will not be known.

1:23

Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. Listen, hypocrisy is like leaven because it spreads, it swells, and it sours the flavor of things, right? Imagine the amount of people that have decided not to follow Christ because of a hypocrite. It has soured the flavor of Christ. Or maybe it has swollen or spread, right? Hypocrisy spreads. It causes other people to be hypocrites. It swells. It causes corruption, just like leaven does in bread. So I think it's powerful for us to recognize. And then he says, therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light. What happens with hypocrisy is it causes people to operate in the dark.

2:08

But he says at the end of the day, no matter if it's an on earth or heaven, at the end of the day, all of things will come to light before God, who is the ultimate righteous judge. He says, have no fear. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, saying, don't be afraid of persecution. And after that, have nothing more than they can do. But I will warn you. whom to fear he says this is who you should fear fear him whom after he is killed has the authority to cast into hell he's talking about his own martyrdom he's talking about himself being martyred for the sins of the world he's saying you know be afraid of me you know you can kill humans but i'm god in the flesh i'm going to raise from the dead and judge the earth for the sins of the world

2:47

Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why even the hairs on your head are all numbered? Fear not. You are more value than the many sparrows. He says, get right with me. You're so valuable. You're extremely valuable. I know the amount of hairs on your head. You are worth more. He says, are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? This is you're worth more than you can ever imagine. Acknowledge Christ before men. Now, Jesus is about to talk about acknowledging him before men. This is talking about faithfulness versus faithlessness here. All right. We're going to see what this looks like. And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God. The faithful people will acknowledge God before men. But the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God, and everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. Now Jesus is about to hint at the unforgivable sin here.
