Even Old Christians Need a New Beginning

Even Old Christians need a "New Beginning"

I Cor 5:7-8

Spring Cleaning is always rewarding. Out with the old and in with the new. Blooms…

Paul has been talking to the Corinthians about sins in the church and he then says…

Vs 7a - purge out therefore the old leaven - Purge = to cleanse or purify by separating and carrying off whatever is impure, foreign or superfluous. Leaven is always a picture of sin!!!

This reference is made of the OT Passover. Ex 12:15-20 Of course we know that Passover represents the coming Messiah. John 1:29Loading... The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Heb 10:10-14

When we come to Christ we are to purge out the old leaven…why…

Vs 7b - that ye may be a new lump...
