💁🏻 The New Covenant in Christ’s Blood
On the night before Jesus died, He ate the Last Supper with His disciples. During the meal, Jesus took bread and wine and told them that the bread was His body and the cup was His blood. He was teaching them that He was about to die for their sins. This was called the New Covenant. A covenant is a promise or agreement. The New Covenant means that through Jesus’ death, sins can be forgiven and people can have a new relationship with God. After the supper, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane and prayed. He was very sorrowful and afraid of the suffering He was about to face, but He still obeyed God and said, “Not My will, but Yours be done.” From a Reformed perspective, his shows that Jesus willingly obeyed the Father and became the sacrifice for His people, securing forgiveness and salvation not by our works but by His finished work.
