Sacrifice: Day 5

Devotion by: Anonymous

1 Corinthians 5:6-8

Your boasting is not a good thing. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, as you really are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

This passage shows how God gives us a chance to throw out the old and redecorate to bring in the new. Jesus Christ died for us, so that our sins would be forgiven. We should forgive others as well as ourselves in the same way God has forgiven us. He has given us a new life. The Easter season is a chance to start anew.

PRAYER: Dear God, Give me the strength to forgive others for their mistakes as well as overcome my pride to forgive my own faults. Amen.
