Why is God a righteous judge?
“Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.” Deut. 16:19 (NIV)
(1) Because He is holy and perfect
(2) (After #1 there doesn’t need to be a #2, but…) He cannot be bribed! He owns everything and therefore cannot be corrupted.
Why do we eat unleavened bread?
“Don’t eat yeast bread with it; for seven days eat it with unraised bread, hard-times bread, because you left Egypt in a hurry-that bread will keep the memory fresh of how you left Egypt for as long as you live.” Deut. 16:3 (The Message)
The Israelites did not have time to bake bread with yeast the night of their deliverance from Egypt. The flight from Egypt was fierce, and this “hard-times bread” is only one example. However, He chooses this example to have His people replicate, to remember His name and power and how He rescued them from their former lives of slavery.
That is why the bread is unleavened. It is now broken because Christ too was broken for our deliverance.
