Are you really striving to put sin out of your life?  Do you realize that you are a sinner?  We are to strive for perfection, even while knowing that it is only through Christ that our sins can be covered.  We are to ask God to create in us a clean and pure heart.  There are certain Passover symbols and lessons that God wants us to remember and review every season.  What are we to learn personally, and also collectively, from these symbols?
