Today in history marks an important day for the ancient Israelites. Last night—the beginning of the 15th day of Abib or Nisan—was a night to be much remembered, as they began their march out of Egypt. Each year, we commemorate this event by observing the Night to Be Observed at the start of the 15th day, which is also the First Day of Unleavened Bread. For us, it is a reminder that by God's grace, we have been called out of bondage to sin and spared from the death penalty we incurred through our sins. The specific days of the week on which the holy days fall this year are also significant. They help guide us in understanding and faithfully observing God’s holy calendar. Each feast day is not only an observance, but also a rehearsal of its deeper meaning. With these two concepts in mind—the historical timing and the spiritual meaning—I want to focus today on a particular Old Testament observance of the Days of Unleavened Bread and reflect on what this festival teaches us now.
