A Prophecy of the Cross
Commentators unanimously highlight that the command not to break a bone of the Passover lamb was a direct prophecy of Jesus Christ. As John 19:36 records, Roman soldiers did not break Jesus' legs, fulfilling this specific detail. Scholars like Calvin see this as a clear sign of God's providence, marking Jesus as the true and ultimate Passover Lamb.
