Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread

We have been doing alot of cooking this week but without leaven. Monday evening we celebrated Passover. And then Tuesday began the Feast of Unleavened Bread which lasts for 7 days.
In scripture leaven represents sin and since this week we can eat no leaven, which means, no baked goods or breads, cobblers or cookies etc, it has caused me to think upon sin in my life. And it has caused me to truly appreciate what Yeshua did that day long ago on the cross!

Everyday we have made something unleavened to eat...

'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, but on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses ; for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.  'On the first day you shall have a holy assembly, and another holy assembly on the seventh day ; no work at all shall be done on them, except what must be eaten by every person, that alone may be prepared by you
'You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt ; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent ordinance. 'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread,until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.  'Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses ; for whoever eats what is leavened, that person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is an alien or a native of the land.  'You shall not eat anything leavened ; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.' " ~ Exodus 12:15-20
