There is an interesting Jewish tradition that\u00a0happens before\u00a0Passover <\/strong>each year\u00a0<\/strong>called kashering<\/em>.\u00a0A family cleans their home of all yeast and leaven; anything non-kosher, the days leading up to the holiday. It’s a reminder to repent of sinful ways as a preparation.<\/p>\n

Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough \u2013 you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.” \u00a0<\/i><\/b>1Corinthians 5:7 NET<\/p>\n

Rabbis instruct, “Only utensils that can be scrubbed clean should be kashered.<\/i>” Interesting that Believers are referred to as utensils<\/b><\/i>\u00a0for God’s purposes in scripture. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross during Passover\u00a0cleansed us from sin, making us useful<\/b><\/i> to Him.<\/p>\n

If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.<\/strong><\/em> 2 Timothy 2:21<\/p>\n

For years I have been aware of God\u00a0cleaning up<\/em>\u00a0my family. Ridding\u00a0our vice & evil<\/strong>, and growing\u00a0sincerity & truth<\/strong> in our hearts.\u00a0It has not always been a pleasant experience, but the results are freedom and usefulness.<\/p>\n

“So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.” \u00a0<\/i><\/b>1Corinthians 5:8 NET<\/p>\n

Sanctification<\/em> is a lifelong process! Our\u00a0old ways <\/i>are hard to break. Thankfully God is not daunted by the ginormous task. \u00a0I am clean in His eyes, and yet the process continues to\u00a0make me more like Jesus.<\/p>\n
