are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us
celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with
the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
When Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper during the Passover meal, He used the unleavened bread
that was already present to represent His body that was about to be broken. So when we use
unleavened bread in our celebration of the Supper, we have in our hands an emblem that our
Savior was without leaven - that He had no sin. What a wonderful reminder of His perfections,
which were absolutely essential if He would save His people from their sins!
It does us good as believers to meditate on Christ our Savior, and one subject that must often
feature in our thoughts is His sinless perfection. It must be a good thing, then, to come to the
Table and receive a visible and tangible sign of that very thing!
