Having put away old leavening, both physically and spiritually, what did Paul command brethren to do next?
I Corinthians 5:8. Paul explicitly commanded the Corinthian brethren to keep the Days of Unleavened Bread. The old leavening, which was thrown out, represents malice and wickedness, while an unleavened condition represents sincerity and truth. The meaning of the Days of Unleavened Bread defines what God expects of His people—we are to put out sin as a way of life! Every spring, God wants us to go through the physical task of removing leaven from our homes. Yet He does not want us to focus on that physical task only, but also to be reminded of the greater spiritual meaning of these days. Before being called, we were in bondage to sin. Our calling was our exodus from Egypt—sin. For the rest of our lives, we must clean sin out of our character. We must replace it with God’s holy, righteous character so we will be able to be part of His Family!
