Easter Sunday
1 Corinthians 5:6b-8
Out with the Old
If you made a good Lent, you sacrificed some things you probably needed to do without. Now Easter is here. Do you go back to your old habits? Or have you made some changes for the good?
If you eliminated some bad habits, let them go. You will be tempted to bring them back or to replace them with some others! It is better to replace bad habits with habits of charity—or with nothing at all.
Paul uses the image of yeast to make this point when he writes to the Corinthians. We often think of yeast as something good that helps make a good loaf of bread rise. But he imagines it as something else—an impurity that gets in the way of a good, hearty unyeasted loaf.
If yeast has gone bad, we replace it with yeast that is good. But to Paul, yeast was never good to begin with. So if it’s bad, get rid of it and bake without it. He writes, “Clear out the old yeast, so that you may become a fresh batch of dough, inasmuch as you are unleavened.” He continues, “Let us celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”
So put away those bad pre-Lenten habits of malice and wickedness. And celebrate Easter the way God made it—in sincerity and truth! Happy Easter!
