Leviticus 23:17 - The Church

Leviticus 23:17 is the only reference in the Old Testament to an offering that was to be made with leaven, and forms part of the instructions for the Feast of Pentecost. In the Bible, leaven is normally used as a picture of sin. Pentecost is a picture of the Church, as it was on this particular feast that the early Church was born. This serves as a reminder that whilst God has set us free from sin through the work of salvation, the Church is nevertheless made up of redeemed sinners, and as such, remains imperfect with people still hurting.
