Communion: New Covenant Established, Old Covenant Obsolete (Matthew 26:26-30) - Steve Gregg

https://thenarrowpath.com | Steve Gregg delves into Matthew 26:26-30, emphasizing the significance of the Communion scriptural practice in Christianity. He highlights the symbolism behind the wine and bread, which when consumed, represent the blood and body of Christ respectively. At the same time, he argues that the old covenant made at Mount Sinai had become obsolete, being replaced by a new covenant with God. Gregg also touches on the unity between the Swiss and German Reformations and quotes scripture to emphasize his points. | Transcript: https://opentheo.org/i/765611936653040104/matthew-2626-2630

Matthew 26:26-30
New King James Version
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, [a]blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the [b]new covenant, which is shed for many for the [c]remission of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
