Awesome and All-Knowing and Knowledgeable Holy Spirit,
You are The Teacher here and we want to learn from You!
This Covenant Communion or the Last Supper was for the Hebrew Jewish community only and not the Gentiles...At the Last Supper, Jesus Christ took a cup and said, “This cup is The New Covenant in His blood, which is poured out for you, House of Israel or the nation of Israel” (Luke 22:20). Moments before, the Lord had broken the bread and given it to His disciples with the words, “This is His body given for you Israel; do this in remembrance of Me” (verse 19). With these symbolic actions, Jesus instituted the ordinance of communion, or the Lord’s Table to the nation of Israel.
The “New Covenant” that Jesus spoke of is in contrast to the Old Covenant, the conditional agreement that God had made with the Israelites through Moses. The Old Covenant established laws and ceremonies that separated the Jews from the other Gentile nations, defined sin and showcased God’s provision of forgiveness through sacrifice. The New Covenant was predicted in Jeremiah 31:31–33.
The Old Covenant required blood sacrifices, but it could not provide a final sacrifice for sin. The Old Covenant required repeated, daily sacrifices of animals as a reminder of the people’s sins. But, as Scripture says, “It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4). Under the Old Covenant, the same inadequate sacrifices were constantly repeated. For every sin, the process was replicated, day after day, month after month, year after year. The Old Covenant never provided a full, complete sacrifice for sin. “For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second” (Hebrews 8:7,).
Jesus Christ came to establish a “better covenant with the nation of Israel” (Hebrews 7:22), A “New Covenant” that Jesus said was in His blood. Jesus shed His blood on the cross to take away the sins of the Hebrew Jewish community. (John 1:29) and ratify The New Covenant between God and Israel. On the night He was betrayed, Jesus Christ took the cup and said to His disciples, “Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood of The Covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:27–28). By “This Cup,” Jesus Christ referred, by metonymy, to the contents of the cup, which was the “fruit of the vine” (Mark 14:25). This was representative of Christ’s blood. Jesus gave His disciples the cup, infusing it with new meaning, and told them drinking it was to be a memorial of His death: it was to be drunk “in remembrance of Him” (1 Corinthians 11:25). Now, “whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” (verse 26).
The New Covenant is based on faith in the shed blood of Christ to take away sin, not on repeated sacrifices or any other kind of work (see Ephesians 2:8–9). Because Jesus Christ is The Holy Lamb of God, His one-time sacrifice is sufficient to atone for the sins of all who believe in Him. Israel and Gentiles alike “partake” of Jesus by coming to Him in faith (John 1:12), trusting that His shed blood (and broken body) is sufficient to pay for the house of Israel and the sins of the whole world. The elements of bread and wine commemorate His death and the shedding of His blood. When Believing Israel eats those elements in communion with other believers, they affirm their faith and fellowship in Christ. Gentiles we are saved by faith and grace alone apart from the Hebrew laws, covenants, holy days, commandments, the building of religious buildings as the houses of God, and Hebrew tithing giving and sacrifices. Amen.
