Passover and Christ

Stott informs us that the original Passover God was revealed as:
1.) Judge (He judged Egypt), 2.) Redeemer (He redeemed Israel from destruction by the blood of the lamb), and as 
3.) Israel’s covenant God (He had set Israel apart as a people to whom he would later covenant).

 In the same way, Jesus’ death showed Him to also be:
1.) Judge (He judged the Pharisees and said He would come again to judge the nations),
2.) Redeemer (the savior/redeemer of all mankind), and again, 
3.) Israel’s covenant God (bringing the new covenant prophesied in Jeremiah 31 to fruition) (Stott, 139–140).
