Hmmm....looks like vassal disagrees with the Christian acceptance of Jesus blood being the New Covenant. He will quote Jesus all day long, but refuses to acknowledge what He said at the Last Supper.
for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Matt. 26:28
you invent things again, to clarify here is a short article I wrote some time ago it is from my personal study notes i am doing you one last favour, will you reject the truth of it?;
THE LAST SUPPER AND THE TRUE MEANING OF THE NEW COVENANT
When Jesus sat with His disciples on the night before His death, He was keeping the Passover. This was not just a meal. It was the place where God showed Israel His salvation from Egypt. Jesus used this moment to show the greater salvation that was about to come through Him.
During the meal, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to His disciples. He said, “Take, eat. This is My body.” He was teaching that His life was being given for them. The bread meant His offering of Himself.
Then He took the cup and said, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” He did not say the blood
is the covenant. He said it is the blood
of the covenant. These words link directly to the first covenant God made with Israel at Mount Sinai.
In the book of Exodus, after God spoke all His commandments, Moses told the people. They agreed to obey everything God had said. Then Moses took the blood of the sacrifices and “sprinkled it on the people” and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant.” The people had already received the covenant. They already heard God’s law with their own ears. The covenant was not the blood. The covenant was the agreement between God and the people. The blood sealed it.
Jesus was following this very pattern. Before the Last Supper, He had already given His teachings, His commandments, His way of life, the truth of the kingdom, and the promise of eternal life to those who follow Him. These teachings form the new covenant. His blood seals it. His blood does not replace His teachings. His blood does not erase His commandments. It seals the covenant He had already announced and explained.
During His ministry, Jesus spoke again and again about the covenant He was bringing. He said He came “to fulfill” the law and prophets, not to destroy them. He taught the law in its fullest, deepest meaning. He gave a new heart understanding, calling us to love God and neighbor from the inside, to forgive, to show mercy, to keep ourselves pure, to carry our cross, to obey His words, and to follow Him.
When He said, “This is My blood of the new covenant,” He was pointing to the moment when His sacrifice would make the covenant strong, firm, and unbreakable. Just like the covenant at Sinai was sealed in blood after the commandments were given, the new covenant is sealed in His blood after His teachings were given.
So what is the covenant? It is the way God binds Himself to His people and His people bind themselves to Him. Jesus’ covenant is built on His words. He said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” He also said eternal life is given to those who hear His voice and follow Him. He said “My sheep hear My voice.” He said the person who “hears My sayings and does them” is the one who builds on the rock.
His blood gives us forgiveness so we can enter this covenant. It washes us clean so we can walk in His teachings. It does not replace His teachings.
It gives power to live by them. The covenant is His words and His promise. The blood seals it.
At the Last Supper, Jesus showed His disciples that His death would make everything He taught stand forever. His body would be given. His blood would be poured out. By this, the covenant would be confirmed just as the old covenant was confirmed at Sinai. Then, in the days after His resurrection, He told them again to “teach all things that I have commanded you.”
So when someone says the new covenant is simply “the blood,” they miss the whole meaning. The covenant must first exist before blood seals it. Jesus’ covenant is the life He taught us to enter. His blood makes the way open. His blood gives mercy. His blood writes the covenant on the heart. But the covenant is His voice, His teaching, His commandments, His promise, and His call to follow Him.
That is the part of meaning of the Last Supper, there is much more but I left only the parts that explains the Blood to you and what it means. Jesus was not replacing His words with His blood.
He was sealing His words with His blood. for those who love him and follow him, our Lord and master in all things. All things in the bible points to Christ.
