Passover is undoubtedly one of the greatest types of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

He was the Passover lamb upon Calvary’s tree and his blood caused damnation – deserved by all mankind – to be passed to those who put their trust in him as Savior and Lord.

One of the prerequisites ordained by God regarding Passover was the ordinance of unleavened bread.

Prior to the miracle of Passover, the Israelites were instructed to rid their houses of all leaven – or yeast used in the making of bread.

Only that which was unleavened could be in their house and be eaten for sustenance.

Leaven, in this context, represents sin.

That which was unleavened represented holiness or righteousness. It represents a life of obedience.

God’s order is powerfully seen in Passover. This order consists of repentance, obedience unto the miracle power of God manifesting.

A lot of times, especially in the times we are living, we desire a miracle but not the prerequisites of repentance and obedience.

However, in God’s order, what unleavened bread symbolizes in repentance and obedience are not suggestions. They are mandatory.

Just recently, I was talking to an individual. I had never met him before but he openly conversed with me as I shared with him about the goodness of God.

He shared that his life had been filled with hurt and calamity. I shared of God’s desire to help him through the provision of Calvary.

He shared that he would like this help but did not want to give up the sexual sin that he was engaging in.

He shared that God understood his weakness and everything would turn out fine.

This man wanted the miracle of Passover, but did not want to rid himself of the leaven in his “house.”
