How do we know that Christ is our Passover Lamb?

The theological underpinning that Christ is our Passover Lamb is evidenced throughout Scripture, particularly in Exodus 12 and fulfilled in the New Testament. Just as God provided a lamb for the Israelites to spare them from death in Egypt, He provided His Son, Jesus Christ, as the ultimate sacrificial Lamb for our sins. This is reflected in 1 Corinthians 5:7, where Paul affirms that 'Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.' This substitutionary principle of atonement is central to understanding who Christ is and the gospel message, emphasizing that He died not for everyone, but for those chosen by God, His people, confirming His role as the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.
