The Passover is a significant event where God spared the Israelites from the death of the firstborn by seeing the blood of a lamb on their doorposts.
The Passover, as described in Exodus 12, is a pivotal event in Israel's history where God commanded the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb and mark their doorposts with its blood. This act served as a sign for God to pass over their homes during the judgment on Egypt. It reflects God's mercy towards His people and foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, our Passover Lamb. Jesus fulfilled the Passover in that He is the Lamb without blemish who sheds His blood for the sins of many, ensuring their deliverance from the wrath of God.
