Jesus’ Death at Passover Foreshadowed by the Passover Lamb

Exodus 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish…
Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Exodus 12:6 and you shall keep it [The Passover Lamb] until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.
John 18:28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!”

Exodus 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.
Matthew 27:25 And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” [Note that the cross would’ve been covered in Jesus’ blood from the scourging and the wounds from the nails.]

Exodus 12:22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin…
John 19:29 A vessel full of wine vinegar was sitting there. So they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. [Wine symbolizes blood in the New Testament and the wine vinegar would’ve symbolized sour blood]

Exodus 12:46 …Neither shall you break a bone thereof [The Passover Lamb].
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth, that you also may believe. 36 For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of his bones shall be broken.”
