Passover and eucharist?
The Old Testament Foreshadows the New Testament. The Passover foreshadows the Eucharist in the following ways. During Passover the Jewish people were commanded by God to slaughter an unblemished, male, lamb. This lamb's blood, when smeared over the doorway of a house, protected that family from death. For the Eucharist Jesus is the sacrificial lamb, unblemished with sin. In order for the Gates of Heaven to be re-opened to us, we needed eternal satisfaction for our sin (Adam and Eve's sin). Because Christ is God, and He died for us, He provided that eternal satisfaction. In the Eucharist we receive that eternal sacrifice in the Eucharist in a non- bloody manner.
