Sermon Overview of Passover: The Lamb of God
A deeper look at the message from Exodus 12
In this weeks Church Service from our Church in Clacton-on-Sea, we explore: What does Passover really mean for the believer today? Pastor Stephen Clayden opens this message by tracing Passover from its first setting in Egypt to its fulfilment in Jesus Christ, showing how the blood of the lamb points directly to the cross. This sermon explains redemption, atonement, and resurrection with clarity, and it calls the listener to see that this feast is not merely historical but deeply personal for everyone who has been set free by Christ.
In this sermon Pastor Stephen Clayden explains that Passover is the first of the Lord’s appointed feasts and that it carries both a historical meaning and a messianic fulfilment. In Exodus 12 God commands Israel to select a spotless lamb, apply its blood to the doorposts, and eat the meal in readiness for deliverance from Egypt. The sermon shows that this redemption from slavery points to the greater redemption found in Christ, who is described in the New Testament as our Passover Lamb. Jesus fulfils the feast in His crucifixion to the very day and hour, as He dies while the lambs are being sacrificed, and His body fulfils the sign that not one bone was broken. The unleavened bread points to His sinless body, and the feast of first fruits points to His resurrection on the third day as the first fruits of those who will be raised. The message teaches that believers have been brought out of spiritual Egypt by the blood of Christ, reconciled to God, and given the promise of resurrection life and citizenship in heaven through faith in Him.
This sermon is worth watching if you want to understand how the Old Testament feast of Passover reveals the heart of the gospel. It carefully connects the story of Israel’s deliverance, the death of Christ, and the hope of resurrection in a way that is clear, direct, and rooted in scripture. It will help you see why the blood of the lamb matters, why Jesus had to die, and why His resurrection gives real hope to everyone who believes.
