Lucas 22

Lucas 22

Phillips - The Passover lamb was slain, its blood poured out, and its body put on a spit. One length of pomegranate wood was thrust through the lamb horizontally and another thrust through it vertically, so it was impaled upon a cross of wood and then roasted in the fire. The parallel between the Old and New Testaments regarding the Passover is striking - The Passover in the OT commemorated Israel's redemption from bondage in Egypt by the blood of a blemish free lamb and the Passover in the NT commemorated mankind's redemption from bondage to sin and Satan by the precious blood of the Passover Lamb of God (Jn 1:29, 1 Cor 5:7, 1 Pet 1:18-19+).
