I also thank you. Only one slight quibble. Not being a Jew, yet I believe that eating the Passover lamb is not a "redemptive" sacrifice, but a recollection/celebration of that great event that created them as the People of God.
Thanks for the reply. I would argue that it is redemptive if we take it in the context of the Passover as a foreshadowing of what is to come.
Slavery is an Old Testament type for the slavery of sin and the exodus foreshadows that liberation that is brought about by the slaughtering and eating of the lamb who, in turn foreshadows Our Lord, slaughtered and consumed.
The Old Testament figures are imperfect foreshadowing of the perfect realities to come in Christ. The lamb is the sign which sets the Israelites free from bondage.
I appreciate your explanations.
Thank you!
Great article and good examples of completion by the Lord and His Church. God bless you
