"This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood," Luke 22:20.
Communion. Lord's supper. Bread and wine. One loaf, one cup. One body. One Spirit. One hope. One Lord. One faith. One baptism. One God; Father of all, over all, through all, in all. New covenant. New will. New testament. New agreement. New deal. The old covenant, weak, impotent, passing away, completed, is done. And gone. The old covenant has been fulfilled. New covenant is established. We do not look to the old testament with ancient Israel to hear God's will today. We listen to the new will, to the terms of the new covenant, we pay attention to the new and last testament of God for today's guidance to life. The gospel of Jesus Christ.
We meet with a brother or sister today attending to Jesus's life in God's new will. And together we give thanks that the old testament is done.
