How does the Passover relate to the New Covenant?

Answered in 1 source

The Passover foreshadows Christ’s sacrifice, establishing the New Covenant of grace through His blood.

The Passover serves as a crucial typology in understanding the New Covenant. In the Old Testament, the Passover lamb's blood provided physical protection and foreshadowed Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. When Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper, He referenced the bread and wine as symbols of His body and blood, establishing a New Covenant. In this covenant, Christ fulfills the sacrificial system, offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of many. This transition to grace through faith underscores the divine promise that through His blood, believers are redeemed and granted eternal life, assuring us that God's anger passes over us due to Christ's sacrifice.
