"Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:" - 1 Corinthians 5:7
The Feast of Unleavened Bread follows Passover which is a memorial bringing us in remembrance of God's plan for our lives. Unleavened bread is a substance typically yeast that is added to dough to ferment and make it rise. It came forth out of the land of Egypt where Israel and a mixed multitude left in hast before the leaven in their bread could rise.?
Leavened Bread is symbolic of sin. Jesus our Passover cleansed you of sin. Eating Unleavened bread for seven days serves as a reminder to keep yourself free of sin. We use this time to clean up our lives by literally removing leaven bread from our house a representation of?"sin". For all have sinned intentionally or not.?
Remember those sinful acts you swept under the rug hoping to bury them deep in your subconscious. God knows all and sees all. You can't hide from God. The flesh is weak, it wants what it wants, when it wants. Sin is wickedness even profitable even at the cost of using others to get what you want. Why else would you do it if there was nothing in it for you?
"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." - 1 John 3:4
The?Feast of Unleavened Bread is in remembrance of all the sins you committed throughout the year. For seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread as proof of your obedience unto God. If you think you have never sinned read God's commandments as a reminder??
"These six things doth the?Lord?hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations. Feet that be swift in running to mischief.?A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren." - Proverbs 6:16-19
Now that we know what God hates, let us walk in this world cleansed by God's grace. The first night of The Feast of Unleavened Bread began Wednesday April 24th. The 7th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread ends Tuesday April 30th. at sundown. Let us take this time to begin again with a clean slate. Start a new life with Jesus Christ putting him first. Did you get the leaven (sin) out of your house?
