5 Reasons to Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread

Today, we'll talk about the reasons why you should celebrate the feast of unleavened bread. But first, what is the feast of unleavened bread? Well, it starts in Exodus 13, where it talks about this is to be God's Memorial, about the separation from Egypt. And so the Feast of Unleavened Bread is symbolic for releasing the Jewish people, the Hebrews, actually from the bondage in Egypt. So this was to be also a celebration of that release of bondage in Egypt. But God was really wanting to do more than physically release them. He wanted to spiritually release them. And that's why Jesus and God want us to celebrate this festival. So it's to be over a memorial of that separation from Egypt. Now, it also is for us to understand what leavening is. Leavening means to sour or to ferment. It also means to puff up – greed, pride, those are all what leavening symbolizes. We have lots of sins that can happen in our life, just our attitude just in the way we let anxiety rule, or we have issues with depression, things like that. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is about time to prepare the home and the heart to help remove all the leaven in the home in the heart. Passover starts in the evening, and it would include unleavened bread. And then the next day starts the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and it goes for seven days. So for seven days, you have no leavened foods in your diet, or even in your home. Now here's something else that's very important to understand about the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a high holy Sabbath. So when we read about the accounts of Jesus week of crucifixion, and they had to quickly get him off the cross before the Sabbath, that wasn't the typical Friday Sabbath. It was the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It starts with a Sabbath and ends with a Sabbath. So we not only have our weekly Sabbath, we have holy Sabbath, so they are also called high Sabbath.
