Why is Christ referred to as our Passover lamb?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is called our Passover lamb because His sacrificial death delivers sinners from God's wrath, just as the blood of the lamb protected the Israelites in Egypt.

The reference to Christ as our Passover lamb is deeply rooted in the narrative of the Exodus. In Exodus 12, God instructed the Israelites to sacrifice a spotless lamb and apply its blood to their doorposts, which served as a protection from His judgment during the final plague. This act foreshadowed Christ's ultimate sacrifice, where He, without blemish, took upon Himself the sins of His people. Just as the blood marked those homes for mercy, the blood of Christ signifies the redeemed status of believers under God's covenant. Thus, when we recognize Christ as the Passover lamb, we acknowledge His role as the perfect substitute who delivers us from judgment and secures our salvation.
