How do we know that Christ is the true Passover Lamb?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is identified as the true Passover Lamb in the New Testament, fulfilling the sacrificial system and delivering believers from the penalty of sin.

The New Testament clearly identifies Christ as the true Passover Lamb, fulfilling the typology of the Passover in Exodus. In 1 Corinthians 5:7, Paul writes, 'For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.' This designation confirms that Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross was the ultimate fulfillment of the Passover sacrifice, which was required for the atonement of sin. Just as the blood of the lamb marked the homes of the Israelites to spare them from judgment, the blood of Christ marks believers, ensuring their deliverance from eternal judgment and sin. Furthermore, throughout the Gospels, we witness Jesus embodying the role of the sacrificial lamb, culminating in His atoning death, which satisfies the righteous requirements of God's law.
