Finding the Messiah in Leviticus. Tuesday 11-22
Leviticus 10:1-15 Unleavened Bread
The Festival of Unleavened Bread reminded Israel of their escape from Egypt. For seven days they ate unleavened bread, just as they had eaten it back then (Exodus 12:14-15). The symbolism of this bread made without yeast was important to the Israelites. First, because the bread was unique, it illustrated Israel’s uniqueness as a nation. Second, because yeast was a symbol of sin, the yeast-less bread represented Israel’s moral purity. Third, the baking method reminded them to obey quickly. Their ancestors left the yeast out of their dough so they could leave Egypt quickly without waiting for the dough to rise.

Thank God for how he has made and gifted you uniquely. Thank God for the moral purity we have in Christ. Pray for God to teach and strengthen you to obey quicker.
