Whereas the Israelites annually celebrated their deliverance from bondage in Egypt, Christians annually commemorate their deliverance from bondage to sin and death. ​ — Exodus 12: 11, 17; Romans 5: 20, 21.
Nii nagu iisraellased tähistasid igal aastal vabanemist Egiptuse orjusest, nii tähistavad kristlased igal aastal vabanemist patu ja surma orjusest.
