Allow me to elaborate even further.
In the story of Exodus, God’s people are told to slaughter a perfect lamb, the blood is then to be smeared over the door frame and then they must eat the lamb that was slaughtered.
So, here we see that it was both the blood of the lamb and the eating of the lamb that saved them.
After they were free, they wandered in the desert for 40 years. During that time, some fell back into the worship of false gods. Some never made it to the promised land. And during that time, they were hungry and called upon Moses for sustenance. So, Moses pleaded for the people to God and God gave them manna(bread).
So, we see here our own lives. This life is our wandering in the desert. We have been freed from the bondage of sin, but we still need sustenance to give us strength until we reach the promised land.
Jesus is the Lamb who died for our freedom and the Manna which came down from heaven to sustain us as we await His coming.
It appears we will simply have to agree to disagree. For now we see as through a glass darkly, but then we shall know in full. :)
