March 31, 2024 – Preparing for Passover

Two things led up to Passover and prepared the people for the Exodus:
– God rained down plagues on the Egyptians and their false gods.
– Before the Passover ceremony, the people swept their houses clean of any leaven.
The plagues desecrated and humiliated the false gods of the Egyptians. Purging out the old leaven (1 Corinthians 5:7) means turning away from things that “puff you up.”
