In order to tell us his story, God has chosen different symbols to communicate vital truths to help us understand. One of those significant symbols is the Lamb. Sprinkled throughout the Bible, the Lamb resurfaces to paint a vivid picture of God’s amazing multi-layered rescue of humankind. This week, we will again find Jesus in the pages of the Old Testament as we explore “Jesus and the Passover Lamb,” part of our Good News Everywhere Series.
