I can say that one of the big issues here is that in Christianity, several separate things are (in my opinion) inappropriately conflated in Jesus.
The scapegoat
Korban (that is, temple sacrifice)
The Passover Lamb
And the slaughtered bull which Moses sprinkled on the people to form the covenant with HaShem.
The Passover lambs were not killed in order to remit sins and, to the best of my knowledge, korbanot weren't chiefly used that way. There's a bunch of rules involved with korban, anyway since, when it DOES remit sins, it's only in very narrow contexts and it never, to the best of my knowledge, ever expiates a sin unless you've already made some kinds of amends before offering it. But that's neither here nor there since there is no temple, sadly, and there is no korban.
