What does it mean that Jesus is our Passover?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus as our Passover signifies His role as the ultimate sacrificial lamb who takes away the sins of the world (1 Corinthians 5:7).

Calling Jesus our Passover highlights His role as the ultimate sacrificial lamb in God's redemptive plan. In the Old Testament, the Passover lamb's blood was applied to the doorposts to spare the Israelites from judgment (Exodus 12). Jesus fulfills this type, as He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). 1 Corinthians 5:7 proclaims, 'For even Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us,' demonstrating the culmination of Old Testament sacrifice in Christ’s atoning work. By His death, the penalty for sin is satisfied, securing eternal life for all who trust in Him. This typology not only reassures believers of their salvation but also deepens our understanding of God's consistent covenantal dealings throughout Scripture.
