How do we know that Christ is the fulfillment of the Passover lamb?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is called the Lamb of God, fulfilling the Passover’s requirement of a perfect, sacrificial lamb.

The New Testament affirms Christ as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb in several ways. John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the 'Lamb of God' who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29), highlighting His role in God's redemptive plan. Additionally, 1 Peter 1:19 describes Christ as 'a lamb without blemish and without spot,' emphasizing His sinless nature as essential for an acceptable sacrifice. The perfect characteristics of the Passover lamb outlined in Exodus parallel Christ’s persona and work, as He alone meets the divine requirement for atonement, thus solidifying the connection between the Passover lamb and Jesus Christ's sacrificial death.
