To be more precise, according to Scripture Jesus is the "Lamb of God". "The next day he (John the Baptist) saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.' " (John Ch 1)
Jesus Christ, often called "the Lamb of God" is directly associated with the Paschal Lamb of the Old Testament Pasch. It is more proper to say that the lamb represents Him and not the other way around, for the lamb typified Our Lord and the sacrifice he was to undergo.
The title "Lamb of God" is not merely a metaphor, Our Lord really was a sacrificial victim and His death ended the Old Testament sacrifices; His own death permanently satisfied the debt of sin for which the lamb was annually offered. Even the process by which the lamb was prepared was reproduced in the death of Jesus Christ. The lamb had to be without blemish, was bound, brought to the temple, tied to a pillar, killed and drained of blood, was roasted on a spit in the shape of a cross with the forearms outstretched and it was consumed without a bone being broken. For an in-depth look into such details, St. Justin Martyr's works are highly recommended.
