Leaven and Leavening Agents - Ambassador College Production

Ambassador College Production

God uses leaven to symbolize sin, I Corinthians 5:1-8. Sin puffs us up and grows with in us spiritually just as physical leaven puffs up bread dough. God uses unleavened bread to symbolize a sinless life. God tells us we are to put leavening agents as well as any leavened product out of our homes by the First Day of Unleavened Bread and keep it out for seven days. We are not to eat leavened food during the Days of Unleavened Bread. Exodus 12:15-17; Exodus 13:6-7; and Leviticus 23:6-8. To understand exactly what is included in the leaven we are to avoid during the Days of Unleavened Bread, we must understand what is meant by "leaven". - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
