Why is the Feast of Unleavened Bread important for Christians?

The Feast of Unleavened Bread serves as an important reminder for Christians of the urgency to remove sin from their lives. By observing this feast, the Israelites commemorated God's deliverance from slavery and the need for purity in their lives as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. In the New Testament, this feast is seen as a symbol of the spiritual truth that believers are to embody—living as 'unleavened' individuals, purged of the old ways and rooted in sincerity and truth. This call is echoed in the New Testament as believers are instructed to keep the feast not with the leaven of malice and wickedness but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, reflecting their identity as people redeemed by Christ.
