The Covenant in My Blood (Luke 22:19-21 ; BC 35)
/Our Lord celebrates the passover with his disciples. It is tempting to think that as the Lord celebrates the passover with his disciples that passover and the Lord's supper are exactly the same thing. However, when Christ takes the bread and the wine he does not ground the sacrament in the exodus, but in his work. This tells us that Christ is doing something unique: he is using this as a symbol to assure us that the new covenant is confirmed in him.
