Old Testament Events
Christ Our Passover
Types and Shadows · 6 verses
The Passover lamb is one of the most explicit types of Christ. In Egypt, the lamb without blemish was slain, its blood applied to the doorposts, and the destroyer passed over those households. Israel was to eat the lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, ready for departure. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. His blood, applied by faith, causes God's judgment to pass over the believer. Not a bone of the Passover lamb was broken; neither were Christ's bones broken on the cross.
