The Passover and Christ

"Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt." (Exodus 12:13; NKJV)

The Passover is a "type," a historical fact that illustrates a spiritual truth (The Open Bible, p. 2). It is a "figure, representation, or symbol of something to come" (Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary). As you read the rest of GOD'S word watch His eternal purpose unfold and find its fulfillment in the person and the work of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of Jehovah.

"For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us." (1 Corinthians 5:7; NKJV)
