The New Testament directly identifies Christ as our Passover Lamb, fulfilling the Old Testament types and shadows.
Christ is identified as our Passover Lamb in 1 Corinthians 5:7, where Paul states, 'For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.' This proclamation connects the sacrificial system of the Old Testament with Christ, emphasizing that He fulfills the role of the sacrificial lamb once and for all. Throughout the Bible, the requirements of the Passover, such as being without blemish, point to Christ’s perfect and sinless life. The true meaning of the Passover finds its completion in the death and resurrection of Jesus, who embodies the fulfillment of God's promise for salvation.
