God desires that you completely appreciate the Passover as His child (1 John 3:2) in the context of His atoning work through the Messiah. (Romans 3:25) When you realize that all Passover observances foreshadow the redemptive work the Messiah would eventually complete for you (1 Peter 1:20-21), you will appreciate your salvation even more. Jesus is the Lamb of God (John 1:29 and John 1:36), referring to Him as the perfect and ultimate sacrifice for sin. And God creates a direct link between this Passover lamb and Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). John the Baptist, the prophet, recognized Jesus as "the Lamb of God" (John 1:29) When you say Jesus Christ, you are really saying Jesus the Messiah, who was slaughtered as the Passover Lamb for you. (1 Corinthians 5:7) The Gospel writers and Paul believed that a clear prophetic connection existed between the Messiah's death, burial, and resurrection and Jesus' eventual fulfillment of the Passover. (Isaiah 53:4-10)
