Mark (Program #36) – The Preparation of the Slave-Savior for His Redemptive Service (10)
It’s no coincident that the Lord Jesus final night before His death was also the Jewish Passover. The Old Testament Passover commemorated the sacrificing of a spotless lamb for the shedding of blood to atone for the sins of God’s people.
That Old Testament type signify that one day God would send the real spotless Lamb to be offered up as an eternal sacrifice not just to atone for sins but to accomplish a full redemption for all who believe.
1 Cor. 5 tells us that Jesus was that perfect spotless Lamb, the fulfillment of the Passover.

For all those who believe until He comes again to receive all His redeemed ones and feast with them anew in His kingdom.
