Yeast

Job 34; 1 Corinthians 4-6 

“…For Christ, our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.”

1 Corinthians 5:7, 8

Just as the Israelites were required to remove all yeast from their homes each year at the Passover feast, so we are called in the New Covenant in Christ to remove sin from our lives so that it won’t spread and taint the lives of those around us. Paul pointed out malice and wickedness expressed in divisions within the Church and sexual sins as examples of yeast that must be removed from the Corinthian church.

What yeast must be removed from our lives?

Will we re-commit to eating the bread of sincerity and truth?

“Lord Jesus, thank you that you are our Passover lamb, killed for the forgiveness of my sins and of the sins of the world. Thank you for grace and truth. Expose any sin that blocks your glory in my life, that I might shine your light and point others to you.”
