How do we know Jesus is the Lamb God provided?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as God's Lamb in scripture, fulfilling the types and shadows of the Old Testament sacrifices.

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, Jesus is depicted as the fulfillment of the sacrificial system established by God. In Genesis 22, the story of Abraham and Isaac is a profound example of this, where Isaac, a type of Christ, asks about the lamb. Abraham answers that God will provide one, ultimately pointing to Jesus as the Lamb of God. Analyzing passages like Isaiah 53 and Hebrews 9:26 confirms Jesus' role as the appointed substitute whose sacrifice was necessary for our salvation, thus fulfilling the prophetic foreshadowing of the Lamb.
