Here are my reflections and comments:
The scripture was: 1 Corinthians 5:7, “Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.”
The devotion was “A New Lump” by Heather Tietz. She mentions that Paul used the image of the Passover when the Israelites were hurrying out of Egypt. They were freed from slavery and rushing to freedom carrying unleavened bread in their packs. She goes to mention that we are like unleavened bread. We have a new life because of Jesus, He is our leavening agent that makes us rise to any occasion.
Reflection: How would I let Jesus get rid of the old yeast (bad habits) in my life? I will let the blood of Jesus cleanse me of my sins.
My Prayer for you: Dear God, thank you for letting us cover ourselves with Jesus’ precious blood that blots our sins and saving us from your wrath. Help us to always claim the new life Jesus offers as our own. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
