Unleavened Bread

Your boasting is not appropriate.  Do you not know that a little yeast leavens all the dough?  Clear out the old yeast, so that you may become a fresh batch of dough, inasmuch as you are unleavened.  For our Paschal Lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.  Therefore, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

A little love heals old wounds.  Unleavened bread symbolizes the hurt that damages and flattens relationships.  Clear out the old yeast means to forgive.   A resurrected relationship is a “fresh batch of dough” leavened and raised.

Those unleavened-bread hurts are caused by malice and wickedness, but when countered by sincerity and truth, the feast begins.

Nowadays we eat unleavened bread forced on us by political discourse sullied by untruthfulness.    Christ sacrificed himself for us. If only craven politicians would do the same.
