“Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:”
1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
Paul’s revelation is that Christ our Passover Lamb has already been sacrificed once and for all, so the old leaven of sin-consciousness, which was upheld by the law, has already been thoroughly removed. On that basis alone, we are now able to permanently rid ourselves of the old leaven mindset of tolerating sin, which was our reasoning under the law-system! The new covenant is the new lump of dough without a trace of the leaven of the old system that was done away with in Christ. In the very repetition of these ritual sacrifices the awareness of guilt is reinforced rather than removed. The testimony of God is my only persuasion that Jesus Christ died my death on the Cross! The perfection of the redemption Christ secured needs no further sacrifice. The only sacrifice is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name. This is our constant gratitude! Thank You Jesus!
