Why Do We Observe Unleavened Bread? (Part One)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

The fundamental reason that God gives for the Feast of Unleavened Bread is to remember His deliverance. He delivered Israel physically, but us spiritually.

Remaining Free

Sermon by David C. Grabbe

In the context of God's deliverance, the concept of freedom from spiritual bondage is paramount. End-time Babylon, as described in Revelation 18, trades in the bodies and souls of men, enslaving the heart with its allure of comfort and luxury. This serves as a stark reminder of the ever-present pull towards captivity, urging God's people to come out of her to avoid sharing in her sins and plagues. The Feast of Unleavened Bread stands as a memorial of God's deliverance from the house of bondage, a recurring theme in Scripture where the phrase emphasizes the gravity of past enslavement in Egypt and warns against returning to such a state through rebellion. God's law, introduced with the preamble of deliverance in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, is presented as the law of liberty, guiding His people to remain free by avoiding idolatry and adhering to His commands, including proper Sabbath-keeping, which are foundational to preventing re-enslavement. Scripture warns against influences that could lead back to the house of bondage, such as false prophets or deceptive voices that entice away from God's prescribed way, as seen in Deuteronomy 13. These warnings extend to subtle, modern equivalents like public personalities or cultural influences that encourage walking contrary to God's instructions, risking spiritual captivity. Colossians 2:8 further cautions against philosophy, deceit, and traditions of men that can take one captive, aligning with the danger of returning to bondage. Jesus Christ, the embodiment of truth, offers true freedom through abiding in His word, as highlighted in John 8. He declares that sin enslaves, and only through Him can one be truly free, emphasizing that deviation from God's way leads back to spiritual slavery. Additionally, covetousness, identified as idolatry in Colossians 3:5, enslaves the heart, mirroring Babylon's trade in souls by fostering desires that pull one away from serving the true God. Paul's struggle in Romans 7 illustrates the ongoing battle against the law of sin that brings captivity, yet he points to Jesus Christ as the deliverer, underscoring that deliverance is a process requiring continual surrender to God. Romans 6 reinforces this by stating that yielding to sin makes one a slave to it, while obedience to God's righteousness, facilitated by Christ, sets one free from sin and satan's influence. Throughout this feast, the call is to remember past deliverance, remain vigilant against influences that could re-enslave, and cooperate with Christ to maintain freedom by filling the mind with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
