The Passover Lamb, described in Exodus 12, foreshadows Christ, who is the ultimate Passover Lamb sacrificed for our sins.
The Passover Lamb, outlined in Exodus 12:1-10, serves as a profound type of Christ. God instructs the Israelites to select a lamb without blemish, symbolizing the sinlessness of Jesus, who is referred to as the Lamb of God in John 1:29. In 1 Corinthians 5:7, Paul explicitly states that 'Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us.' The details surrounding the Passover lamb convey deep theological truths about Christ's atoning sacrifice, highlighting the necessity of a perfect offering to bear the sins of His people.
