DISTINCTION

What marks you as a follower of God?

For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival to the LORD. Eat unleavened bread during those seven days; nothing with yeast in it is to be seen among you, nor shall any yeast be seen anywhere within your borders.  On that day tell your son, I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.  This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder of your forehead that the law of the LORD is to be on your lips.  For the LORD brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand. – – Exodus 13:6-9

The Feast of Unleavened Bread marked the Hebrews as a unique people – – as though they were branded on their hands and foreheads. What do you do that marks you as a follower of God?  The way you raise your children, demonstrate love for others, show concern for the poor, and live in devotion to God – – These actions will leave visible marks for all to see.  While national groups are marked by customs and traditions.  Christians are marked by loving one another (John 13:34, 35).
