    The Apostle Paul explicitly connects the two in 1 Corinthians 5:7, stating, "For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed".

    This connection highlights the shared heritage and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, which is celebrated in Christian Easter.

  • Deliverance and Freedom: Christians see the Passover as a reminder of God's power to deliver and liberate, both physically and spiritually.

  • God's Protection:
    Passover is a time when God's power and protection are demonstrated, just as He protected the Israelites from the plagues in Egypt.

  • A Time of Remembering:
  • Passover is a time for remembering God's miracles and provision for his people.

    Christians believe that Jesus is the ultimate Passover lamb, who takes away the sins of the world, just as the lamb's blood protected the Israelites.
