CHAG HAMATZOTH

FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD

Messiah Yahshua was without sin.

 Your glorying is not good.

Know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Messiah our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the nleavened bread of sincerity and truth.                                                                        

  - Qorin'tiyim 1 (1 Corinthians) 5:6-8

Beginning on Nisan 14 at Pesach (Passover) and continuing from Nisan 15 -22 we don't eat chametz (bread with leaven).  

Leaven represents sin.  

To honor Messiah's sinless life we don't eat bread with yeast which is leaven. Leaven causes the bread to 'puff up'.

Love suffers long and is not puffed up. -Qorin'tiyim 1 (1 Corinthians) 13:4 

Do not be puffed up with pride. -Romayim (Romans) 4:6

Beginning with Pesach we eat Matzah (Unleavened Bread).  It represents Messiah.  The stripes on the Matzah represent the stripes He bore for our sins.  

The piercings on the Matzah represent Him being pierced for our transgressions.-Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 53

the bread of affliction -Bemidbar (Deuteronomy)16:3

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.                                                                  -Shemoth (Exodus) 12:15-17
