Jesus Christ, the Unleavened Bread. Ps 16:10

1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

1Pet 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

2Cor 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Heb 9:28 “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall He appear the second time apart from sin unto salvation.”

Leaven of Sadducees (Matt 16:6) Unbelief.

Lesson: Call to Purity & Persistence 2 Cor 7:1

Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering

us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No

extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished

this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—

that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross,

shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you

find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of

hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
