Mary Of Bethany - Her Promise

Mary of Bethany - Her Promise

The Old Testament Passover lamb was only a shadow of what was to come. As our Passover Lamb, Jesus has completely and thoroughly accomplished our redemption from sin. Just as the little lamb died so that the firstborn in the Hebrew families would not die and would go free from Egypt, so Jesus, our Passover Lamb, has died so that we can be freed from our slavery to sin.

Promises in Scripture

John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

— John 1:29

But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin . . . you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

— Romans 6:17 – 18

Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

— 1 Corinthians 5:7 – 8
