About this listen
The Feast of Unleavened Bread teaches God’s people that they are both sustained by him and defined by him. Israel ate unleavened bread first because they left Egypt in haste and then because God was training them to depend daily on his provision as they journeyed with him. That pattern finds its fulfillment in Christ, the true Bread from heaven, on whom we must feed by faith for eternal life. At the same time, the removal of leaven marked covenant identity: those who shared the bread belonged to the redeemed people of God. In the new covenant, this symbolism reaches its climax at the Lord’s Table, where believers do not make themselves pure, but receive Christ by faith as those who already are “unleavened” in him—assured of their identity, sustained for the journey, and strengthened to live out who they truly are.
