On this Holy Day we celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a Feast built around two symbols—leaven and leavened bread, which God commands us to avoid, and unleavened bread, which He commands us to eat. The biblical instruction for this Feast regularly tells us to eat unleavened bread throughout this Feast. But why? What does unleavened bread symbolize? Is there part of the picture that perhaps we haven't fully understood and appreciated as we should? In this sermon we'll examine the primary and profound symbolism of the unleavened bread we are to eat during this Feast.
