How does the Passover relate to Christ's sacrifice?
Answered in 2 sources
The Passover serves as a foreshadowing of Christ’s sacrificial death, representing deliverance from sin.
The Passover is deeply symbolic in its relation to Christ's sacrifice, illustrating how God provided deliverance through the blood of the lamb. In Exodus, the lamb without blemish represents Jesus, who was sinless and perfect. This connection highlights that Christ is our ultimate sacrifice who secures our salvation. Hebrews 9:26 states that Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, affirming that the Passover lamb was merely a type pointing to the greater reality of Christ’s redeeming work. The protection experienced by the Israelites through the blood signifies how believers are safeguarded from judgment by the sacrificial death of Christ, who is the fulfillment of the Passover.
