We as Christians celebrate Resurrection Sunday, in remembrance of Jesus death, burial, and resurrection. On the Jewish Calendar, however Passover falls on that month.
The Passover is a type and shadow of Christ Jesus being our Passover Lamb, and Jesus prophetically fulfilling the Feast of Passover, the blood of Jesus is applied upon our life, and the blood of Jesus is for remission of sins( Luke 24:47, Acts 2:38, 1 John 5:8). Passover means the Lord would “pass over,” the destroyers bypass the Israelites homes in Egypt
Here is several key factors of Jesus being our Passover Lamb:
He is the unblemished lamb (Exodus 12:5 ; John 1:29 ; Hebrews 4:14-15). John the Baptist called him the Lamb of God, which take away sin of the world.
Jesus is the lamb selected in advanced (Exodus 12:3; 1 Peter 1:19-20).
Jesus is the Lamb slain (Exodus 12:6, 21 ; Revelation 5:6, 13:8).
He is the Lamb with no broken bones (Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalms 34:20; John 19:33,36).
The blood applied to door of our hearts (Exodus 12:7, 22 ; Hebrews 10:22).
Leaven removed and sin removed from our life through Christ ( Exodus 12:15, 19:20; 1 Corinthians 5:8).
Jesus was the Lamb hidden for four days; a day with the Lord is as a thousand years. From Adam to Jesus was four thousand years, which is four days in the eyes of the Lord (Exodus 12:3, 6; Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8).
Jesus was killed exactly at 3:00 p.m. the same time the Passover Lamb was annually killed.
Other types and shadows of Passover:
Pharaoh as Satan, and symbol of Egypt
Passover is deliverance from Egypt
So Jesus is our Passover Lamb, and in Him is life, because life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), His blood cleanses and delivers us from sin, and we now walk in the newness of life.
