Deliverance carries profound significance, reflecting past, present, and future dimensions of God's redemptive power. The springtime festivals of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread memorialize the redemption and exodus of the children of Israel from Egyptian slavery, symbolizing God's deliverance of the elect from this evil world and the corruption of a life of sin. In Exodus 13:3, 8-9, God commands the observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread as a memorial of His act of delivering the Israelites from the Egyptians. Exodus 12:17-18 further emphasizes this deliverance, instructing the Israelites to observe the feast because on that day God brought their armies out of Egypt, eating unleavened bread for seven days with no leavening in their houses. The concept of deliverance extends beyond the exodus, as seen in the earlier account of Lot in Genesis 19:3, where he served unleavened bread to angelic guests in Sodom. Lot was divinely delivered from corruption when the angels urged him to flee the city before its destruction, as recorded in Genesis 19:15. Connections emerge between Lot's rescue and the Israelites' liberation, with both events associating unleavened bread with divine intervention and escape from peril. In the New Testament, deliverance finds expression in the ultimate promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:13-14 declares that the Father has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, granting redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of sins. Additionally, in Acts 12, Peter's miraculous release from imprisonment echoes the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt, with an angel freeing him from shackles and guiding him to safety, reminiscent of God's protective acts during the Passover. The symbolism of unleavened bread ties these accounts of deliverance together, culminating in Jesus' declaration in John 6:48 as the Bread of Life, offering eternal life to those who partake of Him. Through His sacrifice, as noted in I Corinthians 5:7, Christ becomes our Passover Lamb, freeing us from corruption and calling us to live for righteousness.

God has revealed that the purpose of the Feast of Unleavened Bread includes remembering the release from bondage in Egypt, demonstrating that only God has the power to deliver. Egypt symbolizes sin and a satanic, sinful society, teaching a spiritual lesson that only God can release us from the bondage of sin, grant salvation, and lead us into His Kingdom. The Exodus, meaning the way out, was Israel's escape from Egypt, representing sin and bondage for spiritual Israel. Jesus Christ declared Himself as the way, becoming our exodus from sin and its bondage. The Night to be Much Observed commemorates Israel's deliverance from slavery, and for spiritual Israel, it is a night to remember what our God and Savior did for us through His sacrifice, delivering us from the bondage of sin and death. It is by His grace that He called us out of this bondage, even before we knew Him or repented, showing His mercy in drawing us to the true Jesus Christ. God draws us to Jesus Christ, our Exodus, our way out of the bondage of sin, and as long as we feed upon Him, we have eternal life in us.

The First Day of Unleavened Bread represents the beginning of our deliverance, our liberty from sin, and our sanctification. It symbolizes our spiritual liberty, a positive and uplifting focus during these days of righteousness and liberation. Jesus Christ made our liberation from sin possible with His sacrifice, and His blood justifies us, freeing us from the burden of sin. Liberty, as depicted in the Bible, implies a release from prior bondage, reflecting the deliverance of the Israelites from servitude in Egypt through a divine act of liberation. God set Israel free from bondage so they could serve Him as His covenant people, bringing them into a land of abundance with the promise of maintaining their freedom through obedience to His laws. This freedom was a supernatural blessing, unmerited, and dependent on their faithfulness to God. Spiritually, liberty means deliverance from forces that hinder serving and enjoying our Creator, and it signifies the joyous state of living in fellowship with God under His covenant. It is a free, unmerited gift, something we cannot possess without God's action. True liberty is found in service to God, not in independence from Him, as it is precisely in His service that we find perfect freedom. Christ's ministry was one of liberation, proclaiming liberty to captives and healing the brokenhearted, focusing on spiritual deliverance rather than physical or political freedom. He came to set us free from slavery to sin and the influence of satan, overthrowing the prince of this world and releasing his prisoners. This freedom from sin, satan, and death is conveyed through the Spirit that unites us to Christ, bringing adoption as sons of God and heirs through faith. Christian liberty is neither an abolishing of responsibility nor a sanctioning of license. It is freedom for love and service to God and mankind, requiring a responsible use of liberty with regard for others. As stated, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Our liberty is best utilized through the fulfillment of the law of love toward God and one another, reflecting the transformative power of His grace in our lives.
