26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
When Jesus came to the earth, the kingdom of heaven had drawn near. By giving His life and spilling His blood, He opened the door to the kingdom. When He resurrected from the dead, He walked through that doorway as the first fruits of the seed of the word of God.
Many will follow Him by being reborn into the life of the Father’s kingdom.
