The End Of The Feast Of Unleavened Bread
Today marks the final day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For a week, the Jewish people have strictly removed all leaven from their homes and diets, commemorating the haste with which their ancestors fled Egypt. As the pilgrims in Jerusalem begin to pack their tents and prepare for the journey home, the city slowly returns to its normal rhythms.
But for the followers of Jesus, nothing will ever be normal again. They are preparing to leave the capital, not just as pilgrims who have kept a religious festival, but as witnesses to the resurrection of the Son of God. Following the Master's instructions, they are turning their eyes north, preparing to meet Him in the familiar region of Galilee.
"For seven days no leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory, and none of the flesh which you sacrifice on the evening of the first day shall remain overnight until morning."
— Deuteronomy 16:4
— Deuteronomy 16:4
