These seven Days of Unleavened Bread have given us a period of time to reflect and focus on our need to seek out, recognize and work on our sins with the help of Christ living in us. Question: Is that what we really did? Perhaps we did better than ever at removing leavened products from our homes. That's great! Good for you. But if we are not careful, our efforts can wind up being so focused on removing leavened products from our property that we can wind up missing the "real Leaven" that is leavening our whole lump.
