02.16.25 - Passover Paradigm

The Old Testament Passover lamb points to something much bigger – it is a sign of a greater act of redemption – the promise of true substitution. Hundreds of years later, John the Baptist sees Jesus and says, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). John the Baptist isn’t just coming up with a pithy metaphor, he is saying what was promised in the Passover has been fulfilled in Christ!
