Why does Passover help explain Messiah's death?

Part of a series: questions that make more sense when the Tanakh and the New Testament are read together.

The Passover lamb's blood marks a household for the angel of death to pass over (Exodus 12); Paul calls Messiah “our Passover lamb, sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7–8) as though the connection needs no explanation.

What does Passover's own internal logic tell you about what his death was doing?
