“The New Testament uses typology, allegory, and symbolism to illustrate and illuminate doctrine; a doctrine is never based on these things. For instance, in 1 Corinthians Jesus is our “Passover Lamb” (1 Co. 5:7). In the Gospel of John, John the Baptist announces, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (Jn. 1:29). And in Peter’s Epistle he says, “…as of a lamb unblemished and spotless” (1 Pe. 1:19). To God, one man without sin is worth more than all the men with sin; that is how one could die for all. When we see Christ in the Passover demonstration, and we understand the symbolism of the Passover meal at the Last Supper, we will understand the Lord’s Supper in a way we never could before.”
