About this episode

This episode challenges common assumptions about the Passover lamb and its significance in relation to Jesus and atonement.

Was the Passover lamb actually a sacrifice for sin? In this message, we look closely at Exodus 12 and challenge one of the most common assumptions in Christian theology. What was the Passover lamb doing? What did the blood mean? And how should this shape the way we understand Jesus, sacrifice, and atonement? This teaching explores the biblical text carefully and argues that the Passover story may not mean what many of us were taught to assume. Atonement Explained is a new teaching series exploring sacrifice, atonement, grace, blood, and the role of Yeshua through the patterns of the Bible, asking whether popular Christian assumptions fully reflect the story Scripture is telling. Shalom Macon is a vibrant community of Jewish and Gentile believers in Messiah Yeshua, gathering in person in Macon, Georgia, and online around the world. We are committed to helping people encounter Jesus in His Jewish context through thoughtful teaching on Scripture, Israel, and the Kingdom of God.
