Having an accurate set of facts does not guarantee that one will reach an accurate conclusion. In our prior reasoning for keeping the Feast of Unleavened Bread, even though all the reasons stressed God's work of deliverance from Egypt, we inadvertently overstressed our part in coming out of sin rather than God's deliverance from the environment of sin. Egypt does not represent sin, but the environment where sin occurs. Many of our forebears on the Sinai never became free from sin and idolatry. We cannot remember something that is certainly true but misses the larger object that God intends (Matthew 23:23). Unleavened bread has both a physical and a spiritual component, symbolizing "the Lord's law in our mouth" because Jesus is the Bread of Life (Exodus 13:9). We do not live by bread alone but by every word of God, thus, unleavened bread symbolizes what we ingest which feeds our minds and fuels our lives. Leavening (whether the leavening of the Pharisees or the leavening of Herod, etc.) is any idea that persuades us to deviate from the truth even though our minds may feel like they are expanding. Avoiding leavening in all its spiritual forms is dependent on taking in the unleavened bread of Christ, and His words, so that they are within our mouths. If we become filled with those things, it will be difficult for the spirit of the world to draw us back. This world will continue to lose its luster because what we have been given spiritually is worth so much more to us.
