The True Leaven in Jesus



Deuteronomy 16:3

“Thou shalt eat no unleavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.”

1 Corinthians 5:7-8

“Your glorying is not good. Knowing ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 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: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

*The Blood is a covering of protection. The Lord told the people of Israel to put blood on the door lintels so that death will pass them, just like what Jesus wants from us. We need the blood of Jesus to cover us.

Exodus 12:23

“For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.”

*Looking back at the event, when God led the people of Israel out of Egypt, also resembles that of the Lord Jesus Christ and the day of the Passover where He then died and became the perfect sacrifice for the world. *

1 John 1:7

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

*When receiving the Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts we can’t hold onto any pass sins. Because God is holy, and God dwells only in vessels that are holy.*

(The Leaven of the Pharisees)

Luke 12:1

“In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”
