YEAST / MARK 8:15

(KJV) Mark 8:15

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

Yeast is a microorganism that ferments sugars and other carbohydrates, causing various reactions. A tiny amount of yeast will spread throughout the entire batch of bread dough, making it rise. Yeast also ferments wine, making it alcoholic and intoxicating. In the New Testament, “yeast” is usually a symbol for evil or corruption (Matthew 13:33; Matthew 16:6; Matthew 16:11; Luke 12:1; 1 Corinthians 5:6-8; Galatians 5:9; Exodus 13:7).

1. The yeast of the Pharisees refers to their religious traditions, which caused them to set aside God’s true commands and close their spiritual eyes to portions of His Word and what He desires (Mark 7:5-8). 
2. The yeast of Herod (Herod Antipas was the ruler in Galilee) represented a worldly mindset that resisted God and demanded a sign from Jesus (Luke 23:8) to prove He was God. This was similar to the attitude of the Sadducees (Matthew 3:7). Followers of Christ must always be on guard against those who preach or teach human ideas or traditions that change the message of Christ as revealed in the Bible. Accepting such views will cause people in the church to lose their devotion to Christ and may cause them to turn against Him and His Word.
