Deu 16:3 | MHM | STEP | vv. 3-4, 8 : For seven days, the people had to eat unleavened bread, called the “bread of affliction,” to remember their quick escape from Egypt ( v. 3, 4, 8 ). This bread was not tasty or easy to digest, so it reminded them of the hardships their ancestors faced. The lesson for Christians is to live with sincerity and love, getting rid of the “leaven” of sin (1 Cor. 5:7 ). The Passover was meant to help them remember the day of their freedom from Egypt, not just once a year, but all their lives ( v. 3 ). In the same way, Christians remember Jesus’ death so they will always live for Him.

‏ Deuteronomy 16:3

vv. 3-4, 8: For seven days, the people had to eat unleavened bread, called the “bread of affliction,” to remember their quick escape from Egypt (v. 3, 4, 8 ^a). This bread was not tasty or easy to digest, so it reminded them of the hardships their ancestors faced. The lesson for Christians is to live with sincerity and love, getting rid of the “leaven” of sin (1 Cor. 5:7 ^b).

The Passover was meant to help them remember the day of their freedom from Egypt, not just once a year, but all their lives (v. 3 ^c). In the same way, Christians remember Jesus’ death so they will always live for Him.
