The Feast of Unleavened Bread

The Feast of Unleavened bread was a continuation of the Feast of Passover. In fact, the New Testament frequently uses the terms unleavened bread and passover as synonyms of one another (Matthew 26:17; Mark 14:12; Luke 22:1, 7).

The Passover portrayed the cause of deliverance. The Feast of Unleavened Bread portrayed the experience and the effects of deliverance. The Passover was a picture of redemption and pardon by the blood of Christ. The Feast of Unleavened Bread portrayed the believer's life of faith in Christ and our experience of grace in this world. The Holy Spirit makes this crystal clear in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8.
