"Jesus is the Lamb of God"

Jesus is the Passover (Paschal) Lamb, the Lamb of God. The Passover (pāsach) is an annual feast commemorating the LORD’s passing over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, but killed the firstborn of the Egyptians (Exodus 12). Pāsach means a sparing or an exemption. The Israelites were spared God’s judgment when they put the blood of a yearling lamb, without blemish, on the doorposts of their home. Jesus, the Lamb, suffered and shed His blood on the day of Passover.
