The Sacrifice as a Doorway to Life
The intertwining of Passover and the Day of Atonement illustrates the concept of sacrifice as redemption from sin and death. Jesus's death is framed as a significant atonement, where he embodies the 'lamb of God' who takes away the sins of the world. The Passover marks a transition from death to preservation, emphasizing the idea of a chosen remnant saved through a divine substitute. The significance of marking doorways with blood symbolizes a protective boundary that distinguishes life within from death outside. This theme recurs through biblical narratives, suggesting that sacrifice and refuge are central to accessing the divine, as seen in connections to Eden and subsequent sacrificial practices linked to various doors in scripture.
