I AM the Passover Lamb

Pharoah had been warned, he had been shown the mighty hand of God and yet hardened his heart and would not bend to God's will. In this tenth and final plague God would demonstrate his righteous anger and judgement on Egypt in the same way Pharoah tried hurt God's people - through the death of every firstborn. But, God would give a way for the Israelites to be saved from this judgement through the blood of the Passover Lamb. In this great foreshadowing of God's judgement on the sin of mankind, a symbol of Jesus Christ is shown to be the salvation of those who would believe.
