Jesus is identified as our Passover in 1 Corinthians 5:7, emphasizing His sacrificial role in our salvation.
The New Testament presents Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb, explicitly stated in 1 Corinthians 5:7, where Paul declares, 'For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.' This identification underscores that just as the lamb's blood provided protection during the Exodus, Christ's sacrificial death grants believers redemption and immunity from the wrath of God. The typology throughout Scripture aligns perfectly with Jesus’s role: He was sinless, sacrificed at the appointed time, and His blood must be applied to our hearts by faith, echoing the requirement for the ancient Israelites to apply the lamb's blood to their doorposts.
