The Feast of Unleavened Bread

following Passover, is a seven-day festival in the Hebrew calendar, beginning on the 15th day of the first month. Its first and last days are holy Sabbaths. Symbolizing deliverance from sin akin to Israel's escape from Egypt, leaven represents sin's influence, prompting the removal of it from our lives. Paul urges the Corinthians to "keep the Feast," emphasizing replacing malice and wickedness with sincerity and truth. This Feast, marking the second step in God's salvation plan, focuses on removing leavening and consuming unleavened bread, representing Christ's righteousness and our role in purging sin with God's aid.
