This article focuses on the importance of the blood of Christ in the salvation of his people. With primary reference to the Passover lamb in Exodus 12:13, the author shows that the sacrificial lamb was a pointer to Christ's atonement of his people through his blood.

In the Old Testament God showed that redemption can only be attained through blood (Hebrews 9:22). This pointed to the blood of Christ as the only sufficient means to cleanse man's guilt and clear his conscience.
