The link between Jewish Passover and Jesus Christ?

The Passover remembers the time when the Jews were being feed from slavery in Egypt. As a final miracle to convince Pharaoh to let them go, God sent the angel of death to strike down the first-born in all Egypt's families. To indicate that the angel should "pass over" the house of a Jewish family, the family was to slaughter a lamb and sprinkle the lintels of their doorway with its blood.

Jesus was proclaimed by John as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". One of the connections to Passover is that Jesus was killed for us so that our sins are forgiven and we will live forever with God. In this sense Jesus acts as the Passover sacrificial lamb for us.

In addition, there was a more practical connection in that Jesus came to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover and the Last Supper with his disciples was the Passover meal.
