Deuteronomy 16:3-4 Unleavened

 3You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.

4No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.

Leaven is a picture of sin in the Bible because a little leaven affects the whole lump of dough, the same with sin, one little sin affects the whole body and makes us unclean.

Have you ever eaten unleavened bread, or gluten free bread? Gluten free is usually heavy and dense. What about grain free bread? We make a keto muffin with eggs and almond flour that’s a good substitute and a chocolate cake substituted with ground pecans for flour.

Jesus is our sin substitute! He took our punishment for sin so we could become clean in Gods eyes. 

Next time you think of substituting leaven or grains for baked goods think of the ultimate substitution, think of Jesus upon the cross taking our place for the punishment of sin.

I’ve heard it said, if only Adam and Eve didn’t sin. If it wasn’t them it would have been you or me!
