“And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
Mark 14:24-25 KJV
Mark records, Jesus said to them, “This is My Blood, which seals the new covenant poured out for many. I tell you the truth, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the day comes when we drink it together in the Kingdom feast of My Father.” This new covenant is a better covenant because it is established on better promises. In this new covenant, God freely gives us forgiveness, life, salvation and every heavenly spiritual blessing. Jesus serves His disciples the Bread and the Cup which means He is serving us His death and resurrection. This is now our feast and constant supply of God’s life. We are now in the realm of the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit brings us into the Body of Christ and into the reality of God’s Kingdom realm. It is growing and increasing in scope, and every time believers drink of the Cup of Communion, Jesus is present with us. It is the Lord’s Table not ours. Jesus now drinks with us in a new way, and not just once a year at Passover, but every time we worship Him by taking communion. Amen!
