What does the Bible say about the Passover lamb in Exodus 12?

Answered in 2 sources

Exodus 12 presents the Passover lamb as a foreshadowing of Christ, the Lamb of God, whose blood provides salvation.

In Exodus 12, the Passover lamb is described as a key figure symbolizing Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the Lamb of God. The lamb had to be without blemish, representing Christ's sinlessness and purity necessary for Him to be a fitting sacrifice. The blood of the lamb served as a sign for the angel of death to pass over the homes of the Israelites, which correlates with the idea that those who believe in Christ are marked for salvation, escaping the judgment of God upon sin. Thus, the Passover lamb is not only a historical event but a typological representation of Christ's redemptive work.
