Prophecy: The Messiah Will be the Passover Lamb
It is important in the discussion of the Old Testament prophecies that Jesus fulfilled, to remember that these are not just words on pages, or a computer screen. The Bible claims to be the eternal word of God, and that the words within have their origin from outside of time. These word have the power to bring a human being into everlasting life, if the instructions are heeded and believed. When we speak of Jesus being the Passover Lamb that takes away the sins of the world, we must remember that the intent by the Holy Spirit is that Jesus would become your Passover Lamb.
In this 23rd Old Testament prophecy, Moses calls for the elders of Israel to “Pick a Lamb for themselves…” They had to choose of their own free will, to take the Lamb and then place his blood upon their home in order to be saved. It was not enough to simply know what to do, they had to go out and actually do it themselves to be saved.
In the prophecy of the Passover Lamb, there is a requirement to take action personally. When we get to the New Testament we find that in the fulfillment of Jesus being the Passover Lamb who removes our sin, we must partake of Jesus personally, not casually but with heartfelt forethought.
