Summary
He desired to share in this Passover feast with His disciples, though He knew that these same disciples, He knew that it would be the same last feast that He would share with those who would leave Him. As he gathered with these disciples, he lifted the cup and he proclaimed a new covenant between God and His people, a covenant that was promised and secured in the blood of Jesus Christ Himself. The body and blood which we receive at the altar, the body and blood which we receive is the body and blood given through with and under the bread and the wine. So drink, drink the tangible grace, the tangible forgiveness of your sins given for you through the body and the blood of Jesus Christ. For cups, there were four cups, twenty, five, hundred years ago in the final Passover meal, the cup of sanctification, the cup of deliverance, the cup of redemption, and the cup of praise. And in God's love, we are given the gift of a new covenant, the gift of the final cup, the cup of Christ.
