🔥 Matthew 16
Matthew 16 opens with these words: “The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.” The line to keep is Matthew 16:6: “Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”” Carry the word “jesus” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Matthew 16 is a real chapter from the New Testament. It starts, “The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”” Matthew 16 opens with these words: “The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.” The line to keep is Matthew 16:6: “Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”” Carry the word “jesus” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Matthew 16:6: “Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Matthew 16? Then try this: Read “Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
“Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.””
