Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter
"Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world."
Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal.
In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.
This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn.
It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb.
Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.
Jesus would go on to be betrayed and face death on a cross as the ultimate sacrifice for our sin.
When the bible says that Jesus is the Lamb of God Who came to take away the sins of the world, the writer is referring back to the lamb that would have been sacrificed for sin in the Old Testament.
The old way would have been to make a daily sacrifice for sin.
When Jesus died on the cross, He became the one perfect sacrifice for sin.
To remember this, we join in fellowship with one another, giving thanks to Him, and participating together in communion.
We also celebrate what Christ did for us every year on Easter. That death did not claim our God. He rose from the dead, defeating death for us, and ascended to heaven to prepare a place for us there.
So it seems fitting that if lamb was used in a traditional passover feast, that lamb would also be central in an Easter feast.
