The Total Surrender of The Passover Lamb
One of the greatest typologies in The Bible of Jesus is The Passover Lamb. When John saw Jesus, he said, “behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world;” [Jn 1:29, 36] and Paul writes, “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” [1 Cor 5:7] Just as God told Israel to, …

Holy Spirit, Our Oil
