Remember the Cup and the New Covenant, by Quine

Matzah: unleavened breadJesus: Remember me. Posted by QuineThe "Cup" of Christ -- 1 Corinthians 11
At the Passover meal a Jewish family was to remember the blessings God gave the exodus generation. One of those blessings was the law of Moses. But the prophets promised a new law would come called the new covenant. At the end of the Passover celebrated with the disciples Jesus held up a cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant by my blood.” The cup represents the new covenant. We are to remember this word when we celebrate communion together. As you hold the cup think about the new covenant. God promised the forgiveness of sins, and changing our heart of stone to a heart of flesh. Jesus has done this for us, by his death. This is Dr. Jay Quine, remember the word.
