During the Passover the Jewish people took a lamb into their homes as a pet for 3 days and then offered it to God as a sacrifice for their sin.  It was called the "Passover Lamb" and it was only temporary.  They had to do this every year!  The Bible calls Jesus the Lamb of God.  He came and lived with us and then gave up His life as a sacrifice to God for sin forever.
