The historical instances of the Passover in Scripture demonstrate how Jesus Christ fulfills and surpasses these Old Testament types. The temporary, memorial nature of the Jewish Passover contrasts with the eternal, sustaining salvation provided by Christ as the ultimate Paschal Lamb. The old Passover Lambs had to be sacrificed in the temple. Christ's body serves as the true Temple, where He, as our high priest, offered Himself as a once-for-all sacrifice for sin on the cross. This theological insight refutes the idea that His death outside Jerusalem invalidates His role, showing instead that He is the fulfillment of both the Passover and atonement sacrifices. Believers must partake of the Lord's Supper with gratitude, recognizing Christ's perpetual benefit to His people, rather than viewing His sacrifice as merely a past event.
