"He is the One led like a lamb and slaughtered like a sheep; He ransomed us from the worship of the world as from the land of Egypt, and He set us free from the slavery of the devil as from the hand of Pharaoh, and sealed our souls with His own spirit, and the members of our body with His blood. This is the One who clad death in shame and, as Moses did to Pharaoh, made the devil grieve. This is the One who struck down lawlessness and made injustice childless, as Moses did to Egypt. This is the One who delivered us from slavery to freedom, from darkness into light, from death into life, from tyranny into an eternal Kingdom, and made us a new priesthood, and a people everlasting for Himself"
(Melito of Sardis, On Pascha 67-69).
