What does the Bible say about Christ being the Passover lamb?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes Christ as the Passover lamb, symbolizing His sacrifice for the redemption of His people, as seen in John 1:29 and 1 Corinthians 5:7.

Christ is referred to as the Passover lamb, emphasizing His role as the ultimate sacrifice who takes away the sins of the world. This analogy comes from the Old Testament practice where a lamb without blemish was required for Passover. Just as the Israelites were saved from judgment by the blood of the lamb painted on their doorposts, believers are saved from the eternal judgment through the blood of Christ, who was without sin and perfectly fulfills the requirements for atonement. In 1 Corinthians 5:7, Paul directly states, 'For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us,' presenting Jesus as the central figure in God's redemptive plan.
