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
Exodus 12:13But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, marking the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.
A lamb dies and its blood spares Israel from death. - 2
Led like a lamb to the slaughter
Isaiah 53:7He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.
Isaiah's suffering servant, silent before his shearers. - 3
Behold, the Lamb of God
John 1:29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Christ our Passover
1 Corinthians 5:7Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
"Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." - 5
A lamb without blemish
1 Peter 1:19It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.
Ransomed by the precious blood of Christ. - 6
Worthy is the Lamb
Revelation 5:6Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.
The slain-yet-standing Lamb at the center of heaven's worship.
