What does the Bible say about the significance of the Passover?

The Passover, as described in the Bible, signifies the salvation of God’s people from bondage and death. It illustrates God's gracious intervention in Egypt, where He instructed the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb and place its blood on their doorposts. This act ensured that the judgment would pass over them, signifying God's protection and deliverance for His elect. In a deeper spiritual sense, the Passover points to Christ, who is identified as our Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). His sacrificial death delivers believers from the bondage of sin and spiritual death, affirming that Christ must be killed for us to be saved.
