What is the meaning of 'unleavened bread' in communion?

Answered in 1 source

'Unleavened bread' symbolizes the sinlessness of Christ, as leaven often represents sin in the Bible.

'Unleavened bread' is used in communion to symbolize the body of Christ, which is without sin. In the Bible, leaven is frequently associated with sin and corruption (Matthew 16:6). By using unleavened bread, it serves to reflect the purity and perfection of Christ’s sacrifice. The bread represents His body broken for us, a crucial aspect of our faith, as He fulfills the righteousness required by the law. Therefore, partaking of unleavened bread reinforces the core belief in Christ’s sinlessness and His role as the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
