How do we know that Christ is our Passover?

Answered in 9 sources

Christ is our Passover because He fulfills the Old Testament sacrificial system, being the unblemished Lamb who takes away the sins of the world.

In 1 Corinthians 5:7, Paul explicitly states, 'For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.' This declaration aligns with the New Testament's portrayal of Christ as the fulfillment of the types and shadows of the Old Testament sacrifices, particularly the Passover lamb. As the lamb was central to the Passover feast in Exodus 12, symbolizing deliverance from slavery in Egypt, so too does Christ represent the ultimate deliverance from sin and death. His sacrificial death not only meets the requirements of the law but also establishes a new covenant of grace for all who believe. This connects believers with the rich theological heritage of the Old Testament while highlighting the finality of Christ's work in securing redemption.
