The Reality Replaces the Type

For the law is old,

but the word is new.

The type is provisional,

but grace is everlasting.

The sheep is perishable,

but the Lord,

not broken as a lamb but raised up as God,

is imperishable.

For though led to the slaughter like a sheep

he was no sheep.

Though speechless as a lamb,

neither yet was he a lamb.

For there was once a type, but now the reality has appeared.

For instead of the lamb there was a son,

and instead of the sheep a man;

in the man was Christ encompassing all things.
