The Inscrutable Question: Baptism of the Cross; Review: Passover, Lord’s Supper, & Jewish Seder: JSH-463, 464
11)	Just as God the Father demonstrated His unconditional love for the human race by judging Jesus Christ in our place, so also Jesus Christ demonstrated His personal love for the Father by willingly offering Himself as our substitute.
12)	Because of the virtue love of Jesus Christ, the righteousness and justice of God were able to demonstrate God’s love to us by judging His uniquely born Son as a substitute for us.
Romans 5:8 - God demonstrated His undiminished love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died as a substitute for us.
13)	When our sins were imputed to Jesus Christ He willingly drank that cup.  When our sins were judged in His own body on the cross, He willingly identified Himself with our sins through the baptism of the cross.
14)	The first thing, Jesus Christ as the impeccable sacrifice, was identified with the second thing, the sins of the world, thus changing the first thing: Jesus Christ became our Savior.
15)	The unleavened matzo, dipped into the bitter herbs thus speaks of the baptism of the cross where Jesus Christ in His impeccability was identified with our sins and judged for them.
16)	This is the baptism that is implied by our Lord when He instituted the elements of the Eucharist.
17)	The unleavened bread speaks of the impeccability of His human body which became the recipient of our sins.  He was the perfect Lamb of God who willingly agreed to become our substitute.
18)	The cup speaks of these sins imputation to the impeccable Christ and their judgment in Him.
