What does it mean that Christ suffered like the roasted lamb?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's suffering as the roasted Lamb signifies the judgment He bore on behalf of sinners, fulfilling divine justice.

Christ's suffering is comparable to the roasting of the Passover lamb, which embodies the judgment He endured for our sins. Fire in scripture often symbolizes God’s judgment, and Christ, as the Lamb, bore the full weight of divine wrath necessary for our salvation (Isaiah 53:5). This aspect of His suffering highlights that He did not merely die; He suffered under the judgment of God, making Him the perfect atonement for sin. Thus, acknowledging His suffering allows believers to appreciate the depth of His love and the gravity of the sacrifice made for us.
