How do we know that Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecies and types, fully embodying the role of the sacrificial Lamb for humanity's sins.

The certainty that Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb is rooted in the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and typologies that point to Him throughout Scripture. From the Passover lamb that spared Israel from death in Egypt to the lambs sacrificed daily in the tabernacle, each symbolized the ultimate sacrifice that Christ would accomplish. Notably, Isaiah 53 portrays Christ as the suffering servant who is oppressed and silent, mirroring the meekness of a sacrificial lamb. Furthermore, John the Baptist explicitly identifies Christ as 'the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world' (John 1:29), establishing Jesus as the fulfillment of all sacrificial imagery that precedes Him. After His resurrection, the book of Revelation presents Jesus as the Lamb who is worshipped in heaven, affirming His ongoing role in God's plan of redemption.
