Words of Jesus: Wednesday, April 8, 2026

Luke 11:53-54   “As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say.”

  Luke 12:1-3   “In the meantime, when so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trod upon 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 upon the housetops.”

 RSV

This is both a warning and an encouragement to live lives walking in truth, with God. 

God help us.  Amen
