Why is the concept of Christ as our Passover important for Christians?

The significance of Christ as our Passover Lamb cannot be overstated in Reformed theology. He fulfills the type established in the Old Testament, serving as the perfect and spotless sacrifice that takes the place of sinners. Just as the blood of the lamb protected the Israelites during the Exodus, Christ’s blood protects believers from eternal judgment. This typology emphasizes that salvation is solely through faith in Christ, and it eliminates any notion of self-salvation through works or adherence to the law. Hence, understanding Christ as the Passover Lamb centers our faith entirely on His redemptive work rather than on our efforts.
