- The meaning of the Passover: God saves us by the blood of Christ (Ex 12:13)
Ex 12:25-27, Rom 8:1-2, 1 Cor 5:7, 1 Pt 1:18-19
The plague did not happen to the Israelites who put the blood of the Passover lamb on their doorposts. (Ex 12:13)

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1 Pet 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
