What does the Bible say about the Passover as a type of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Passover lamb foreshadows Christ, as both are without blemish and signify salvation through sacrifice.

The Passover lamb serves as a vivid type of Christ, emphasizing the core elements of our faith. In the Old Testament, the lamb was chosen for its perfection, paralleling Christ's own sinlessness and role as the Lamb of God. The requirements for the lamb, such as being a year old and without blemish, indicate that Christ, in His earthly ministry, embodied complete purity and strength. Consequently, the Passover not only provides a historical context for understanding Christ’s sacrifice but also highlights the spiritual truths of our salvation—where the blood of the lamb saved the Israelites from death, Christ's blood redeems us from sin and eternal separation from God.
