< "The true meaning of Passover was centered in the lamb.
"... God said that, on one night, every first born in every family was going to die and it did not matter whether the family was a Jewish or an Eygptian family. But there was one way to avoid that death. If a family killed a lamb and placed its blood over the house (in the shape of a cross) then that family would be spared the death. The reason that family would be spared was because God had said that when He saw the blood, He would pass over (or skip over) that house and not kill the first born.
(Exodus 12:13) The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
"I saw clearly that if there were no lamb, and no blood of the lamb over the door, there would be no mercy and no escape from the fatal judgment. Then I read in the New Testament what John the Baptist called the Lord Jesus Christ:
(John 1:29) The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
- Tom Cantor from "How a Jew Came to Know and Put his Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ"
