The cold snows and the piercing winds all remind me that he keeps His covenant with day and night, and tend to assure me that he will also keep that glorious covenant which he has made with me in the person of Jesus Christ. He who is true to his Word in the revolutions of the seasons of this poor sin-polluted world, will not prove unfaithful in his dealings with his own well-beloved Son.” Charles Spurgeon

“Unleavened bread was a symbol of discontinuity. Leaven was a bit of dough kept unbaked from the previous days’ baking and added to the next day’s batch of dough so that it would start the fermentation process there also. It was used in much the same way as yeast would be now. When a batch of bread is being baked a relatively small quantity of leaven or yeast is added, and it works its way through the dough and causes it to rise. The instruction to banish leaven from their houses and to take none of it with them from Egypt was a gesture that symbolized leaving behind all Egyptian influences that might work through their lives and corrupt them.” Commentator
“God wanted to do something more that get his people out of Egypt; he wanted to get Egypt out of his people.” Phil Ryken
