Throughout the history of mankind – as told in The Bible – the way for a person to restore their relationship with God is to acknowledge their relationship with God is broken and to offer a blood sacrifice (a lamb).
In the early history of mankind this is what people did. For example:
Exodus 29:39 One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
God chose the nation of Israel to be His representatives on earth. Israel was supposed to show the other nations what a relationship with God is like. But Israel turned from God and His ways and followed other gods.
So God came to earth as a man – Jesus – and died as the ‘lamb of God’, a sacrifice for the sin of all who believe.
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
If a person believes this, the Bible says God forgives that person and gives them eternal life.
1John 5:11
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
1Johnn 5:12
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Easter is the time when Christians remember Jesus' death as the 'lamb of God'.
This eternal life is a free gift. To receive it you only have to believe Jesus is the saviour of the world.

∙ 13y agoWell, we eat lamb in the Easter because in past centuries it was considered a lucky omen to meet a lamb, especially at Easter time. It was a popular superstition that the devil, who could take the form of all other animals, was never allowed to appear in the shape of a lamb because of its religious symbolism.

maybe its their white (usually) wooly coats, or the fact that they're probably one of the earliest tamed/domesticated animals, and are generally easy to herd and look after since they are not aggressive by nature. it is the symbol of purity because in the time before jesus they would weekly sacrifice an unblemished lamb with no defect to substitute for the sins of the people and when jesus came to earth as a man he came as the lame of god that would bear the sins of man (and women) forever
