How do we know Jesus is the true Passover Lamb?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus is identified as the true Passover Lamb through prophetic fulfillment and His sacrificial death for sin.

In Exodus 12, the Passover is established as a sacrificial system that would ultimately point to the need for a perfect sacrifice to atone for sin. Jesus embodies this in His role as the Lamb of God (John 1:29), fulfilling the type established in the Old Testament. The New Testament clearly affirms this truth, emphasizing that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was the ultimate fulfillment of the Passover lamb, removing the sin of the world and offering a new covenant based on grace (Hebrews 9:11-14). Hence, understanding Christ as the Passover Lamb is essential for recognizing the grand narrative of redemption throughout Scripture.
