A Sacrifice of Deliverance
Commentators explain that the phrase 'sacrifice of the Lord’s passover' designates the lamb as a formal offering to God. It was both a sacrifice of thanksgiving for being spared from the plague and an atoning sacrifice, with its blood providing protection for the household. This act was a direct response to God's specific, saving action.
