“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven.” The sentence should stop us — because most of us were handed a reading that makes it impossible. What if leaven was never sin at all?
When the Bible talks about leaven, it isn’t talking about the little packet of dry yeast from the grocery store. It’s talking about sourdough — a living culture you maintain and feed. Make sourdough once, and the leaven texts will never read the same way again.
