Don`t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.

Receive a Whole Christ

Commentators like Spurgeon and Henry explain that the command to roast the lamb whole—"its head with its legs and with the inwards"—symbolizes the need for believers to embrace all of Christ. We are to receive His wisdom (head), His walk (legs), and His inner life (inwards), accepting His teachings, His cross, and His crown, not just the parts we find most comfortable.
