Shadows: Seeing the Gospel in the Old Testament — The Gospel According to the Passover (Lesson 3)
Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - Exodus 12:1-14 (Exodus 1:13-14; 6:6-7; 12:1-14 & 29; Matthew 21:8-11; 26:26-28 & 30; John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:18-21; 2:21-25; 1 Corinthians 5:7; 11:26; Deuteronomy 16:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Psalm 118:21-29; Acts 4:10-12; 1 Timothy 2:3-6)
In one of the most powerful foreshadows of the cross in all of Scripture, God paints the Gospel across the doorframes of Exodus 12. In this lesson, we explore how the Passover—rich with symbolism and steeped in redemptive meaning—points unmistakably to Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God. From the selection of the lamb to the unleavened bread and bitter herbs, every detail of that first Passover proclaims the hope of the Gospel.
Series description:
This series explores how key Old Testament events, symbols, and figures pointed forward to Jesus’ death and resurrection. By seeing how God wove the gospel into Israel’s history, we’ll deepen our appreciation for Christ’s sacrifice and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
