The sermon explores the rich symbolism of unleavened bread, representing purity and sinlessness, which aligns with Christ’s teachings on living a life free from sin. The message draws on biblical narratives like the Exodus and the crossing of the Red Sea, while emphasizes the urgency and necessity of leaving behind old ways (symbolized by leaven) and embracing a renewed life committed to God’s commandments. We are in need of personal reflection on our spiritual journey, and we need to urge one another to examine our lives for signs of spiritual stagnation and to actively seek rejuvenation through alignment with Christ's example of selfless love and obedience.
