The destroying angel passed over the houses marked with the blood of the Paschal Lamb, so the wrath of God passes over those whose souls sprinkled with the blood of Christ. [1 Corinthians 5:7](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/7). As the paschal lamb was killed before Israel was delivered, so by the death of Christ, we have redemption through his blood. It was killed before the tables of the law were delivered to Moses, or Aaron's sacrifices were enjoined; thus deliverance comes to men, not by the works of the law, but by the only true passover, the Lamb of God. [Romans 3:25](/kjv/romans/3/25). [Hebrews 9:14](/kjv/hebrews/9/14). It was killed the first month of the year, which prefigured that Christ should suffer death in that month. [John 18:28](/kjv/john/18/28). it was killed in the evening. [Exodus 12:6](/kjv/exodus/12/6). Christ suffered at that time of the day. [Matthew 27:46](/kjv/matthew/27/46). [Hebrews 1:2](/kjv/hebrews/1/2). At even the sun sets; at Christ's passion, universal darkness was upon the whole earth. The passover was roasted with fire, denoting the sharp and dreadful pains that Christ should suffer, not only from men, but God also. It was to be eaten with bitter herbs, [Exodus 12:8](/kjv/exodus/12/8),not only to put them in remembrance of their bitter bondage in Egypt, but also to testify our mortification to sin, and readiness to undergo afflictions for Christ, [Colossians 1:24](/kjv/colossians/1/24),and likewise to teach us the absolute necessity of true repentance in all that would profitably feed by faith on Christ, the true paschal lamb. **for in:** [Exodus 12:29-42](/kjv/exodus/12/29-42), [Exodus 13:4](/kjv/exodus/13/4), [Exodus 23:15](/kjv/exodus/23/15), [Exodus 34:18](/kjv/exodus/34/18) **Reciprocal:** [Exodus 12:14](/kjv/exodus/12/14) -
