Why do we use unleavened bread in the Lord's Table?

Unleavened bread is significant in the Lord's Table because it symbolizes Christ's sinless body. Throughout scripture, leaven is often associated with sin, representing how it can puff us up and corrupt us. By using unleavened bread, we emphasize that Christ was without sin and His body was perfect. This aligns with the teaching of the New Testament where Christ is identified as the true bread from heaven, emphasizing His purity and the necessity of His sacrifice for our redemption. The use of unleavened bread thus serves to deepen our understanding of Christ’s nature and the holiness required for atonement.
