The Passover, as described in the Book of Exodus, commemorates the Israelites' liberation from Egyptian slavery, when God "passed over" the homes of the Israelites during the tenth plague, sparing their firstborn sons from death. This event was a prophetic foreshadowing of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

1. *The Lamb:* In the Passover, a lamb without blemish is sacrificed, and its blood is applied to the doorposts as a sign for God to pass over the house. Jesus was without sin, without blemish and He is the "Lamb of God," the perfect sacrifice whose death atones for humanity's sins so that those who believe in Him, attain eternal life, causing God’s judgment to pass over our souls in the Resurrection.

2. *Liberation from Slavery:* Just as the Passover marks the Israelites' liberation from physical bondage in Egypt, the crucifixion offers liberation from the bondage of sin and death for believers.

3. *Sacrifice:* The sacrifice of the Passover lamb, which spared the Israelites from physical death, prophesied Jesus's sacrifice, which spares believers from eternal death.

4. *Fulfillment of the Law:* Jesus's crucifixion occurs during Passover, signifying the fulfillment of the Old Testament Law and its prophecies, and establishing a new covenant between God and humanity.

The Passover is a prophetic sign pointing to the greater deliverance accomplished through Jesus's death and resurrection, embodying the last and perfect sacrifice for salvation.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Matthew 5:17

Hebrews 8:12
For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”
13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
