The First Day of Unleavened Bread: The Day AFTER The Passover

“Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is Sacrificed for us: Therefore let us KEEP The Feast (of Unleavened Bread, on the 15th day of Spring’s New Moon, the day AFTER The LORD’s Passover, which was Observed on the 14th day) not with old leaven, neither with the

leaven of malice and wickedness; but with The Unleavened Bread of Sincerity and Truth” (1 Corinthians 5:7-8).

Bible Study Instructions: One Nation Under God Ministries (www.onug.us) publishes and distributes weekly Bible Studies, worldwide – FREE of charge, to anyone who requests them, in both printed and electronic formats. Our Studies are intended to be a simple and fun way to Learn The Scriptures, and are very easy to follow! We adhere to Jesus Christ’s Biblical Instructions to Teach and Feed The Flock of God (John 10:16) portions of Meat in Due Season, on weekly Sabbaths, and on The Seven annual Holy Days (Leviticus 23:1-44) throughout each calendar year (Luke 12:42 / Isaiah 28:9-10 / Matthew 13:52). Using both The Old and New Testaments, our Bible Studies are designed to present a premise, make a statement, or ask a question – followed by one or more Scriptural References. Just look up and read from your Bible The Scriptures listed. Comments following questions elaborate on The Scriptures you just read. Pray always BEFORE beginning any Study of God’s Word, Asking God to OPEN both

your eyes and your mind to His Truth (Matthew 7:7-8); then Prove EVERYTHING you read, is in fact the Truth, by comparing it to The Word of God (1 Thessalonians 5:21 / 2 Timothy 3:15-17). Then use The Biblical System of Checks and Balances, and SEE if both Jesus Christ, and The First Century Church of God Apostles – also Did, Said, and Taught These SAME THINGS (Galatians 1:1-12, 5:25 / 1 Peter 2:21, 25 / 1 John 2:3-6)! That’s all there is to

------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Unleavened Bread; and WHY Does Jesus Christ REQUIRE us, in The New Testament Church of God, to Observe EIGHT days, every year, of eating ONLY Unleavened Bread? www.onug.us

Unleavened Bread - DEFINITION: (noun), a brittle, flat bread eaten at Passover, and for seven consecutive days afterwards, by those who Follow God’s Commanded Feast Days in The Bible (both in The Old and New Testaments);

which DOES NOT contain leaven, yeast, or baking powder to make it rise when baked.

Synonyms: matzah, matzo, matzoh.

Jesus Christ uses His Feast of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:4-8) and Leaven, as an analogy, to picture SIN in our lives; something that puffs up, or makes us arrogant before God! Leaven in our bread, is something God Commands us to REMOVE from our homes, our lives, and our foods – for 8 DAYS – every year AFTER Passover; SO WE WILL UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO REMOVE SPIRITUAL LEAVEN FROM OUR BODIES AND OUR LIVES – ALL YEAR LONG; NOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!!! www.onug.us

Page 4: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

The Types of Leaven:

Jesus Tells us to Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees which is Hypocrisy (Luke 12:1-2). www.onug.us

What kind of hypocrisy did they have (Matthew 23:5-12)?

Let’s look at Christ’s Warning to them (Matthew 23:13-15). They work to be seen of men! They devour widow’s houses, and as a pretense, they say a long prayer! They omit the weightier things of The Law, and leave them undone (Matthew 23:23-27).

How does Christ really SEE them (Matthew 23:28-33)?

Hypocrite: From the Greek word “hypokrites”, that means “Pretender”!!! This is where we got the word “actor” in modern English! Are You a Pretender? According to Jesus Christ’s definition of a Christian; are you a Pretend Christian? You better be sure! Jesus Says in many places in The Bible, that there are many, many pretenders in the world today that PRETEND to be Christians, but according to JESUS – are NOT!!! Boy, are they in

for a surprise when Jesus Returns… UNLESS they Wake Up NOW, REPENT, and MAKE A U-TURN! www.onug.us

This is what Paul meant when He used the words, “Sincerity” and “Truth” (1 Corinthians 5:8)!!! This is what Jesus Christ meant when He Said we MUST Worship God The Father, in SPRIT and in TRUTH (John 4:23-24)!!!

Page 5: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

It is possible to be sincere, and not be remotely grounded in TRUTH! Jesus Requires BOTH from HIS Followers… and He Provides HIS HOLY FEAST DAYS for us; so there is No Excuse, on our part, for doing EXACTLY What God The Father REQUIRES of us. We have The Bible, God’s Feasts, Jesus Christ’s Personal Example, and HIS WORDS. Then we have the Apostles and their disciples’ examples. Combine that with The Power of The Spirit of God, within us; and we deserve to be Rejected by Christ, at His Return – if we are still Hypocrites (Revelation 20:1-6)!!! www.onug.us

Hypocrites will NOT have their part in The First Resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 / 1 Corinthians 15:20-23); but will have their part in The Lake of Fire – after The Thousand Year Rule of Christ on earth, and after The Second Resurrection, if they continue in their hypocrisy (Luke 16:19-31)!!!

The Truth and LOVE of God, is that He is Calling us out of Hypocrisy, today! Can you “Hear” Him Calling YOU? Can Your Eyes “See”, And Can Your Ears “Hear” God’s Truth –AS JESUS TAUGHT IT (John 4:22-26)?

Page 6: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

“Hear now this, O FOOLISH people, and WITHOUT Understanding; which have eyes, and see NOT; which have ears, and hear NOT!!!” (Jeremiah 5:21).

It is naturally difficult to tell the Truth; especially if it is not going to benefit you, or if it is going to hurt you! You have to condition yourself to always default to The TRUTH; because our natural, Satan inspired inclination, is to lie. That is WHY God Gave us The Ninth Commandment (Exodus 20:16).

Truth: The quality of sincerity and honesty. Being in accord with

the facts; experience and reality! Without wax or a false foundation (history of the vase or urn) – is it real, without fault?

The Apostle John uses the word “Truth” 93 times in his gospels. In the entire rest of The New Testament, God Inspires the word “Truth” to be used another 90 times! I hope you will agree with me, TRUTH is Important to God (John 4:24)!!! Look at How God Sums Up TRUTH in The Last Book of The Bible (Revelation 21:5, 22:6, 12-14)!

Page 7: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

Sincerity: The same in actual character as you are in actual appearance. What you see is what you get. In Reality, it is what GOD Sees, is what WE Will Get – for better or for worse!

“None Calls For Justice or Pleads For Truth!” Are these

words true about you, your church, your workplace, or your society (Isaiah 59:1-6)? God Will Deliver you from your personal trials, and us as a nation, from our national ills; IF we Cry Out to HIM – for His TRUTH (Isaiah 59:14-21, 33:22)!!! www.onug.us

Page 8: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

Do we know what “Truth” is? The Bible Says God’s Word and His Ways are Truth (John 17:15-19). God Uses This truth, His Truth, to UNIFY us into ONE Body of Believers; who all Worship The Father IN The EXACT SAME WAY that Christ Showed us to (John 17:20-26)!!! This Body of Believers, His Church; consists of different “folds” of sheep (John 10:16), that all belong to The SAME Shepherd; and they ALWAYS have The SAME THINGS IN COMMON (Acts 2:42, 44, 46-47 / John 10:4-5)! If YOU want to be a Wise Virgin, at The Return of Jesus Christ, YOU had better figure out what the other Wise Virgins have IN

COMMON with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the Prophets of God; AND COPY THOSE TRAITS (Luke 13:28)!!! www.onug.us

Page 9: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

The Jews DO NOT have Christ in “their” Jewish” Passover – always kept ONE DAY TOO LATE (on the 15th day of Aviv; instead of The Commanded night of the 14th, like Jesus

ALWAYS Kept His Passover on! Most Christians now follow the fat bald man in Rome (Daniel 7:25), in keeping an Ancient Pagan Fertility Rite to Ashtoreth, Ishtar, or EASTER – on the Sunday morning following The True Passover! WHY do SO MANY REFUSE to OBEY and COPY The Actual Words, Actions, and Teachings of The AUTHOR of their Salvation (Luke 6:46)? www.onug.us

God Uses His Holy Days as a Sign; that whoever Keeps Them, is Sanctified - or Set Apart by God, as a Special Group of “HOLY PEOPLE in Truth” (Exodus 31:13)!!!

If you are NOT Keeping God’s Holy Days, you ARE NOT being Led by The Spirit of Truth!!!

Page 10: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

God’s Holy Spirit will Lead us into ALL Truth (John 16:13-15)!!!

Today, Satan has many people worshipping God’s Holy Spirit, instead of asking God for that Power at Baptism, and using it to overcome this evil world! The most Powerful weapon against Satan sits on their altars, instead of flowing through their mortal flesh, to empower them to wield The Sword of The WORD of God (Hebrews 4:12-16). And of those few in the world, who do Understand that The Power of God is NOT a deity, but rather a tool; they can’t use it, because they either forgot

or refuse to FOLLOW, the Operating Instructions – which were Given to us in the previous eleven verses (Hebrews 4:1-11)!!! Let us FEAR, and let us have FAITH, let us Not Harden our hearts, let us Labor to enter into His Sabbaths, so that we Do Not FALL, as those who do have unbelief (Psalm 111:10)!!! www.onug.us

One Nation Under God Ministries Online College of Biblical Knowledge: We Invite YOU to download our Two-Part Bible Study Series on God’s Holy Spirit at www.onug.us

The Days of Unleavened Bread, which The People of God Faithfully Keep each year, Remind us of our Duty Before God, to REMOVE all lies, sins, and hypocrisy from our lives; to REPLACE them instead with Truth… God’s Truth (2 Timothy 2:15-21). God’s Holy Days are Truth! The world’s replacement holidays, like keeping Easter instead of Passover; is a lie, a sin,

and hypocrisy before God (Deuteronomy 12:1-4, 28-32)! Jesus Christ Personally Appeared to King Solomon – TWICE - in The Old Testament to Tell him to STOP keeping Easter (Ashtoreth) and Christmas (Molech)!!! When Solomon refused to OBEY God; God Took The Kingdom of Israel AWAY from him (1 Kings 11:1-11)!!! We must ask ourselves; “How are we any different than Solomon?” He was the wisest man that ever lived (1 Kings 3:5-

Page 12: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

12

15, 4:29-34) – yet Solomon was DISOBEDIENT to God – with Terrible Results!!! www.onug.us

God Says:

1) Repent and Be Baptized; To Receive God’s Holy Spirit!

2) Keep Passover on the 14th day of Spring’s New Moon (that was at sundown on 26 March 2021, this year): Eat Christ’s Body, Drink His Blood; and Wash One Another’s Feet, in an Annual Memorial of Christ’s Death, UNTIL He Comes Again, to Make YOU A King upon this very earth!!!

3) Eat Unleavened Bread for 7 Days, and FOCUS on putting Sin and Satan’s Ways OUT from your lives!!!

Page 13: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

13

Satan Says:

1) Just Confess and Love Jesus in Your Heart to be Saved (No Works, Actions, or Obedience is Required)!

2) Keep the Pagan Sunrise Festival of Ashtoreth, Ishtar, or Easter!

3) Color Eggs, Eat Chocolate Bunnies, and Marshmallow Peeps!

You have a Duty before God, to PROVE His Truth, and To Keep His Truth! We have a Commandment from Christ to

Worship God The Father, and to Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:23-24)!!! OBEY GOD; NOT SATAN!!!

Do we attend Sabbath and Holy Day services with a humble heart, to Learn more from The Source of Wisdom, and from His Word; or do we think of it as a necessary evil, something to hurry up and finish up with, so we can go on about “our” day – and go on about with “our” life? Your answer will determine your results! Your attitude could get your life ripped apart, or ripped away from you – just like King Solomon Learned

from God – The Hard Way (Malachi 3:6 / Hebrews 13:8 / Acts 10:34-35 / Romans 2:5-11)!!! www.onug.us

Page 14: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

14

I want to know The TRUTH! I want to remove the old leaven from my life, I want to remove the old ways, my old sins; and to replace them with the NEWNESS of Christ

(Mark 2:21-22)! When we become new in Christ, we can’t keep our old ways, or our old things. Everything we need in NEWNESS, Christ will Give us NEW and AFRESH (Matthew 9:16-17)!!!! We MUST Become NEW WINE!!!

Page 15: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

15

New wine is still fermenting, and expanding. It must be put in a new wine skin, which can stretch and grow with the wine;

or else new wine will RIP APART and BURST an old wine skin! Jesus Christ Calls us to put out the OLD us, when we Receive Him, His Blood, or NEW Wine at Passover! Keeping The Feast of Unleavened Bread Teaches us to become NEW in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)!!! www.onug.us

Let us eat our Unleavened Daily Bread for Seven Days!!!

Page 16: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

16

REMEMBER: JESUS ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY OF THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD! Jesus Christ CONTINUED TO Eat Unleavened Bread WITH His Disciples for 4 MORE DAYS – AS THE RISEN SAVIOR!!! JESUS DID NOT CHANGE OR ABANDON HIS FEAST DAYS – NOW AS THE GLORIFIED MESSIAH – INSTEAD, JESUS KEPT HIS FATHER’S FEASTS – AND SO SHOULD WE, JUST LIKE THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH ALWAYS HAS – POST RESURRECTION (Leviticus 23:1-44 / Acts 1 & 2 / Hebrews 13:8)!!!

1) Study The Word of God. Know The TRUTH! (2 Timothy 2:15) Let The Words and The Ways of our LORD become YOUR words and YOUR ways (Proverbs 3:1, 4:4, 23:26, 119:24)!!! www.onug.us

Page 17: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

17

2) Speak The TRUTH. Do it with love, not to hurt others, but speak The Truth. Don’t be cruel, but speak The Truth (Ephesians 4:1-7 / Matthew 22:15-16 / Zachariah 8:16). Don’t Beat Around The Bush, Tell It Straight, But In Love!

Are we removing Hypocrisy and lies from our lives? Are we Speaking and Doing The Truth (Ephesians 4:14-16, 25-32)?

3) Love The TRUTH (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 / Psalm 119:47-48, 97-113 / Micah 7:18 / Psalm 130:4-8)! God LOVES to FORGIVE people who FORSAKE lies and iniquity, and who EMBRACE His TRUTH (John 17:17)!!!

Page 18: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

18

4) Give Thanks For, and Live For The TRUTH (2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 / 1 John 3:18-24 / 2 John 3-4 / 3 John 3-4 / 1 Peter 1:22 / Philippians 1:10)!!!

“It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially, a Bible-Reading people. The principles of The Bible are the groundwork of human freedom” – Horace Greeley (The editor of the New York Tribune, America’s most influential newspaper, from the 1840’s - 1870’s). www.onug.us

Collecting The Holy Day Offering:

“Three times in a year shall all thy males Appear Before The LORD thy God in the place which He shall Choose; in The Feast of Unleavened Bread (Spring Holy Days – see Leviticus 23), and in The Feast of Weeks (at Pentecost), and in The Feast of Tabernacles (Fall Holy Days – see Leviticus 23): and they shall NOT Appear Before The LORD empty: Every man shall give as he is able, according to The

Blessing of The LORD Thy God, which He hath Given thee!!!” (Deuteronomy 16:16).

God Tells the members of His Church to bring an Offering, when we Assemble before Him on Holy Days, as each man purposes in his heart (2 Corinthians 9:6-8 / Exodus 25:1-9 / Malachi 3:6-12).

This would be applicable to us this year on Sunday, 28 March 2021 (The First Day of Unleavened Bread), and also on Saturday, 03 April 2021 (The Last Day of Unleavened Bread). Let’s read:

“But this I Say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God Loveth a Cheerful Giver!!! And God is Able to Make ALL

Page 19: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

19

Grace Abound Toward YOU; that YE, Always having ALL Sufficiency in ALL Things, May Abound To Every Good Work!!!” (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).

“And The LORD Spake unto Moses, Saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring Me an Offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart, ye shall take My Offering! And this is The Offering which ye shall take of them: Gold, and Silver, and Brass…” (Exodus 25:1-9).

“For I Am The LORD, I Change NOT; therefore ye sons of

Jacob are not consumed! Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from Mine Ordinances, and have NOT Kept Them! Return unto Me, and I will Return unto YOU, Saith The LORD of Hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed Me!!! But ye say, Wherein (or how) have we robbed Thee? In Tithes and Offerings!!! Ye are cursed with a Curse: for ye have robbed Me, even this whole nation!!! Bring ye all the Tithes into the storehouse, that there may be Meat (Spiritual Food) in Mine House, and PROVE Me now

herewith, Saith The LORD of Hosts, if I will not OPEN you The Windows of Heaven, and POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, that there shall not be Room Enough To Receive It!!! And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, Saith The LORD of Hosts! And all nations shall call you Blessed: for ye shall be a Delightsome Land, Saith The LORD of Hosts!!!” (Malachi 3:6-12).

God Tells Us NOT to pass a collection plate at church services! www.onug.us

He Leaves The Responsibility of Tithing (each time we receive an increase), and of Offerings (on each of God’s Annual Holy Days) up to the Individual Disciple, and to each head of each household; for them to contribute to

Page 20: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

20

whatever fold of His Sheep, which God Has Attached them to (John 10:16). But make no mistake, when you Come Before The True God, there are Curses or Blessings associated with HOW we Worship God, and with HOW we Honor Him with our finances! So today, and this week; make sure you have examined yourself, and your finances, before your Heavenly Father!!!

On God’s Holy Feast Days we are Commanded to Appear before God with an Offering. For those who do not yet Understand This Truth; please Read our Bible Study on The Truth about Tithing and Offerings in God’s Church, at www.onug.us

Page 21: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

We do accept your Tithes and Offerings, online, for those whom God Leads to Bless this Ministry financially! Simply visit our website at www.onug.us.

We will now take up our Holy Day Offerings:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Are YOU New Wine In A New Wine Skin?

Human nature has not changed! These days of Unleavened Bread

are an Annual Memorial to God's Law, and to His Powerful Deliverance of His people from Egypt (sin) and bondage (slavery to those sins); of their conversion from slaves – into the VERY CHILDREN OF GOD (1 John 3:1-2 / Daniel 12:1-3)!!!

Paul explained this significance to the Corinthians, and as God did with the Israelites; he also attached a sense of urgency for them to cease from sinning (2 Corinthians 6:17)! Paul says we should not even keep company with a brother involved in flagrant sin; as their puffed up attitude in the face of other brothers and sisters, will leaven the whole loaf

(congregation)! Also, by ridding our homes of leaven and leavened products (sin and the things that encourage us to sin) each year as we approach This Feast; we realize that overcoming sin is hard work, and takes lots and lots of effort!!! www.onug.us

Page 22: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

22

Why are there seven days of Unleavened Bread, but only one day of each of Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets and Atonement (Exodus 12:19 / Hebrews 12:1 / 1 Corinthians 9:27; 10:12-13 / Romans 7:14-25)?

God Knows that we tend to change slowly (sometimes that is an

understatement with me!). He Gives us seven days each year to concentrate on OUR duty to rid our lives of sin. Those Acts that are God's Responsibility, such as The Sacrifice of His Son for all sin, The Sending Down of His Holy Spirit, The Resurrection of the dead, or The Binding of Satan; God Can Accomplish ALL Those Things in Just ONE DAY!!! The part that involves mankind's participation, such as our overcoming of sin in

Page 23: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

23

our lives; well, that requires much more Time and Attention!!! These Seven Days of Unleavened Bread represent a period of “judgment” when man is Required to Overcome (it represents our lifetimes, after we are Called and Baptized)! To us, Overcoming a deep seated sin, can seem to take an eternity (Isaiah 66:23-24 / Zechariah 14:16-19)! The obvious lesson for us, is that we MUST draw much closer to The Source of That POWER, in order to Overcome! And we WILL (Psalm 103:10-14 / Romans 8:1-17)!!! www.onug.us

This world's Christianity has PERVERTED The LORD’s Passover into Easter, and they have Completely Dismissed The Days of Unleavened Bread!!! They don’t see any need for such a silly old custom; but hopefully now YOU DO!!! Hopefully, God Will Help YOU this year, to Come Out of these pagan feasts; and / or lead others to do the same (John 4:22-24)! Follow The Risen Christ to The Place that He Will SHOW YOU; NOT Satan to a dark, pagan ABOMINATION Before Almighty God!!!

Page 24: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

24

What has the world Really Lost by avoiding The Holy Days of God (Revelation 3:12, 22:14-15 / Hebrews 6:4-6, 8-12, 12:14-29 / Zechariah 14:1, 4-5 / Revelation 5:9-10, 20:6)?

Most Christians today have LOST a vital step in their Salvation: SANCTIFICATION (Exodus 31:12-18 / Luke 13:22-30)!!! www.onug.us

God Sets Us Aside for a Lifetime of Overcoming Sin, so that

we might Enter into His Kingdom (Revelation 22:14-15)!!! By their "once saved, always saved" doctrine, worldly Christians deny the whole process of putting sin out of their lives. They believe that once they "accept Christ," their salvation is secure, that they cannot lose it - no matter what lifestyle they choose to live! This is in direct contradiction to God's Holy Word (read all of Hebrews Chapters 6 & 12 and prove this for yourself)!!!

God Has Chosen to Reveal to Us, This Festival Of Unleavened Bread, so that we will Overcome!!! So that we will Pursue Holiness!!! And so that we WILL SECURE

Eternal Life in His Kingdom – Following The Way, and The Example that Jesus Alone, SHOWED US - How to Walk In!!!

Page 25: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

25

As we eat Unleavened Bread over the next 7 days, let us Give God Praise and Thanks, for His Revealed Truth of Unleavened Bread. Take it in. Relish it. REJOICE with your Called Out Brothers and Sisters! Praise God for THIS Holy Feast Day (Matthew 7:13-14)!!! Jesus is Sculpting “US” to FIT into The Narrow Gate!!! PRAISE ALMIGHTY GOD!!!

Page 26: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

26

God Wants to Hear and See His TRUTH, and His Love, IN US; and also Radiating OUT from Inside of Us (Matthew 5:14-16)! Our Savior died on the cross, to Redeem Us from the curse! Let us EMBRACE The Blessings that come from Walking in His Path, and that come from Worshipping The Father in both Spirit and in TRUTH!!! www.onug.us

We invite you to join us again this coming Sabbath, for The Last Day of The Feast of Unleavened Bread (on Saturday, 03 April 2021)!!!

“If ye Love Me, Keep My Commandments” (John 8:55)!!!

“If ye Keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My Love; even as I have Kept My Father's Commandments, and abide in His Love” (John 15:10). Jesus Christ’s and The

Page 27: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

27

Father’s Commandments are the SAME; They are IDENTICAL (John 12:44-50)!!! Keeping The Father’s Commandments is what is going to get you to FIT through The Narrow Gate; They will Shave Off the excess sin weight we all carry around – if we continue to put leaven (or sin) OUT of our lives (Matthew 7:13-14 / Revelation 22:14-15 / John 14:10)!!! www.onug.us

The Days of Unleavened Bread are God’s Spiritual Weight Reduction Program!!! Get Six-Pack Abs – Jesus Style!!!

NOT all food is Physical!!! Matthew 4:4 / Luke 4:4 / Dueteronomy 8:3 / John 6:52-59!!! www.onug.us

We all need to let Jesus Christ become our Personal Trainer; and start using the weight room, and the exercise equipment that God The Father has Provided to us; if we want to FIT inside that Narrow Gate (1 Peter 4:14-19 / 1 Corinthians 9:24-25)!!! WE SHOULD BE PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY OBEYING GOD!!! That includes Getting RID Of The Physical and Spiritual Leavening in OUR Lives!!! COPY CHRIST; and LIVE!!!

Page 28: Holy Day: The First Day of Unleavened Bread

The Real Jesus Christ Kept The LORD’s Passover with His Disciples on the eve of His death, and Commanded His Followers to Continue Doing So (Memorializing, RE-Memorializing, and RE-Membering His Death each year on the 14th day of Spring’s New Moon), UNTIL Jesus Returned in the clouds with Great Glory (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 / Colossians 2:16-17)!!!

Today, we DO The Same; and we ALSO Keep The Days of Unleavened Bread – so that we can put out sin, so that we can become more Christ-like, so that we can run FASTER,

so that we can Win That CROWN of RIGHTEOUSNESS, which Jesus Christ will Personally place upon our heads when He Comes Again – this time in the sky with POWER and VERY GREAT GLORY – to Redeem us and to REWARD US (2 Timothy 4:5-8)!!! www.onug.us

Come out of the Wide, Broad Path that most Christians follow by keeping the pagan holiday of Easter - in Opposition to Jesus Christ’s ETERNAL Commands and VERY CLEAR Instructions (Deuteronomy 12:1-4, 28-32)!!!

Do NOT follow the Jews, or the many Messianic Jews, who do keep the Passover, but on THE WRONG DAY - as we are Commanded to Keep The LORD’s Passover on the 14th of Aviv (sundown Friday, 26 March 2021), and NOT on the 15th (sundown Saturday, 27 March 2021 – which is really the start of The First Day of Unleavened Bread – it is NOT The Lord’s Passover)!!! www.onug.us

“And WHY Call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do NOT The Things which I Say? Whosoever cometh to Me, and heareth My Sayings, and DOETH Them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a Rock: and when the

flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could NOT shake it: for it was founded upon a Rock. But he that heareth, and doeth NOT, is like a man that WITHOUT a foundation, built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it FELL; and the ruin of that house was GREAT!!!” (Luke 6:46-49). www.onug.us

”But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I

said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:26-30).

Christians must learn to read the Bible, interpret the scriptures according to Biblical principles (Isaiah 28:10, 13), and begin to apply the precepts they learn in their walk with God. Individual study is essential; coupled with

fellowship times of group study, worship, and discussions of personal insights and observations.

We strive, each Saturday, to foster an open and welcoming atmosphere where Spirit led confirmation, clarification, questions, and correction can be made in the Fellowship of other students of God’s Word.

“And when He had called unto Him His twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease… And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely
