Hi GAMErs!<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s passage is Mark 8:14-21.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n
Mark 8:14-21 (NIV)
\n14\u00a0\u00a0The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
\n15\u00a0\u00a0“Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”
\n16\u00a0\u00a0They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”
\n17\u00a0\u00a0Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
\n18\u00a0\u00a0Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?
\n19\u00a0\u00a0When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied.
\n20\u00a0\u00a0“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.”
\n21\u00a0\u00a0He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
\n\u00a0
\nThe disciples were concerned about how they had forgotten to bring bread with them on the boat (v14).\u00a0 So when Jesus says, \u201cWatch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod\u201d (v15), the disciples immediately assume that Jesus is talking to them about how they had no bread (v16).\u00a0 But Jesus wasn\u2019t rebuking them for not bringing bread.\u00a0 Jesus was warning them not to be influenced by \u201cthe yeast\u201d, that is the unbelief, of the Pharisees and that of Herod.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24271,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gametime-sharing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24270"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24273,"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24270\/revisions\/24273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ocbf.ca\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
