God called the Israelites to celebrate the passover using unleavened bread.
God called the Israelites to celebrate the passover using unleavened bread.
“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
God commanded the Israelites to remove all leaven from their homes leading up to Passover. Passover began the new year for the Israelites. They had to remove all old dough and any left over flour from the homes or else they would be cut off from the people.
The Israelites ate the Passover without unleavened bread. They had to remove all leaven.
Paul called the Corinthians to get rid of the old yeast in their midst.
Why?
The church of Jesus Christ reflects God’s priestly people. Israel’s lessons could teach the church how to be faithful.
The Corinthians were not making preparation for Passover. As Christians, we do not celebrate Passover. Church celebrates the Passover every day, since Jesus Christ, God’s passover Lamb, sacrificed his life for our freedom.
Spiritual pride opens the door to spiritual corruption. -
The Corinthians high esteem for intellectual freedom led them to ignore sin in the fellowship. They took pride in tolerating a man who had his father’s wife.
Leaven is dangerous in the church. It represents tolerance to the world’s value system of vanity and corruption. Jesus warned his disciples to be aware of the leaven of the Pharisees
“Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Passover began the new year for the Israelites.
This was a warning against tolerating the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees...
Christ is calling us to rid ourselves of the old yeast in our midst.
This passage will mean little today unless you’re on a special diet. If you have a gluten intolerance or allergy, it means your body reacts to anything with wheat in it. There is a whole list of side effects telling your body, wheat does not belong here.
We tolerate things that are bad for the body of Christ.
This passage will mean little today unless you’re on a special diet. I have a gluten intolerance. My body reacts to anything with wheat in it. We tolerate things in life that are not good for the body, soul and spirit.
We tolerate things in life that are not good for the body, soul and spirit.
Our compromise with sin causes it to spread throughout the whole body. Leaven represents the worlds influence.
Leaven is yeast. A little can spread throughout the whole loaf. Leaven is sin- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, which God hates.
Since we received a new nature, we should rid ourselves of our old ways.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
Eph
We have every reason to get rid of the Leaven in our hearts and minds. Let me tell you the gifts Christ has given:
The gift of justification:
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
The gift of virtue:
Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
You have been made pure through the blood of the lamb
The gift of regeneration
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
The gift of Hope:
The gift of Hope:
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
The gift of his presence:
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Through Jesus Christ, we are the influencers of the world.
Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
We really are the influencers in the world.
By ridding ourselves of the carnal attitude and practice, we become clean and fresh before the Lord Jesus Christ.
God want clean worship. He does not accept calves with broken legs and disease; neither does he want Christians filled with sin and iniquity.
Paul speaks to the infinite beauty of holiness. We all like shining new things. I clean my glasses ten times a day. I can’t stand to have smudges on my lenses.
God does not want to look at us and see smudges on his creation. gives is a high image of God.
Declare his glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people. For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: Fear before him, all the earth.
Paul declares a holy church complements holy Christ just as unleavened bread complements the Passover Lamb.

If I were a Jew during ancient times and I saw that beautiful piece a Lamb sitting on the table and I am reminded I represented my deliverance from slavery and God’s promise to give me a portion of the promised land, I would want- no I would need a piece of unleavened bread- straight out of the brick over to remind me of God’s work in my life.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Cor.
If Christ is the Lamb without blemish, then we are meant to be the people without spot or wrinkle. This is who we are. We are the righteousness of God in him. Hallelujah!
If Christ is the Lamb without blemish, then we are meant to be the people without spot or wrinkle.
