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.
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.
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

Chapter 2: What does Jesus say about hypocrisy?
As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, making an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge and the judge hand you over to the officer. The officer put you in a prison. I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid every last penny. The beautiful thing about Jesus Christ is our sin separates us from him and we're in extreme debt to Christ.
And the only way to pay for a debt this large for an imperfect human being is to have a perfect sacrifice. And Jesus Christ is perfect, took on flesh, lived a life exactly like us, experienced every emotion, every temptation that we've been through.
And he lived a perfect life and he died on the cross, a death that you and I deserve paying for this saying, look, if you put your faith and trust in me, I'll wipe your slate clean. But if you don't put your faith and trust in me, you're going to be held accountable for every action and every wicked word that you've spoken. Guys, I pray that Luke 12 has blessed you guys. I love you guys.
