Follow the lamb from the Passover in Egypt to the throne of heaven.
A spotless lamb dies so that Israel might live; a prophet sees a servant led silently to the slaughter; John points and cries, "Behold, the Lamb of God"; Paul says "Christ our Passover has been sacrificed"; and the Bible ends with the whole creation worshiping the Lamb who was slain and now reigns.- 1
The Passover lamb
