Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Corinthians 5:8...... When the commandment is given to keep the feast, it is not just talking about keeping this Jewish memorial but keeping the sin out of our lives. When it says to eat the bread of sincerity and truth, it means that the Holy Spirit will witness to us in sincerity and the Word of God will testify of truth!!! This exhortation is a commandment to rid ourselves of sin when taking communion and to live that way, not just in the feast time, but all the time--as the Holy Spirit and the Word testify for us to live. Communion...A key to overcoming in these days we live...
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
