This document discusses the purposes that Jesus Christ fulfilled as the Son of God, including as the sacrificial lamb. It explores the similarities between the biblical Passover lamb and Jesus, such as the timing of their selection, their examination process, age and gender restrictions, how and when they were slain, restrictions relating to their bones, and more. All of these similarities point to Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb ritual, who paid the penalty for sins and sets people free from bondage to sin through his sacrifice.
