Unleavened Bread | Let Us Keep The Feast

1 Corinthians 5:8 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.

Our Lord says: Keep the Feast. The Passover was a Festival - a joyful time. A Holy Day - a holy event.

As we feast we do so in... Commemoration of the Lord's Death; Memorial - in memory of His Death; Victory Celebration - Deliverance from bondage

The early church called it a Love Feast. We declare and proclaim our love relationship to the Lord.
• The Lord is the honoured Guest at this Feast.
• Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us (v. 7).
• He wants to minister to us through its observance…

The early believers were "continually devoting themselves" to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Let's not neglect it, but rather…
Keep it
Continue it.

This feast… is...
• Wondrous in its simplicity
• Profound in its truth
• Eternal in its dimension.

We confess Christ and our faith and love for Him by this service. And so it is important that we conduct it rightfully…

We want a right observation of the feast - this involves getting rid of leaven, and taking unleavened bread.

At Passover they made sure of this.

Get rid of Leaven. Leaven speaks of sin or error.

We have need for judgment…
• For testing of self.
• For examination of our walk.

There's a call here, for removing…
• Malice
• Wickedness

Cleanse your heart from…
• Worldliness and
• Disobedience.

It's needful that we address Sin…
