Lift Up The Cup

Luke 22:20 (NIV)

20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

The Last Supper pictures the cross, the meeting place between the Old and New Covenants. They are actually part of the same story, the revelation of God’s love.

The Passover feast was given to remember God bringing the Israelites out of Egypt. It is the occasion and setting which gives meaning for what is to happen.

Both remind us of what God has done and will do.

There is a feast to come, an everlasting supper with the Lord. He will again drink the fruit of the vine at His banquet table. Let us lift up the cup.
