The Cup of Salvation

Luke 22:20
In 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.

Matthew 26:28
This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.-

Mark 14:24
"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said to them.-

Jesus said that the cup was the new covenant in his blood. He said that it was his blood of the covenant.

The disciples understood what he was saying.

Their silence spoke volumes.

Jesus was saying that he was going to cut covenant with The Almighty as Abraham did.

The disciples were silent because they understood.

As Abraham had the mark of Covenant in his flesh (Circumcision) Christ (Who is God Almighty) has the marks of Covenant in his flesh (Slit wrists and feet etc.)

As Abraham was willing to offer his son for God, God was willing to offer his son for Abraham.

As Abraham sacrificed a lamb for God, God sacrificed a lamb for Abraham. Gods lamb was himself.

And now after Christ cut covenant by death on a cross and rose again he intercedes for us as Abraham, interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah.

Gods covenant with Abraham has both sides equal. It is a perfect covenant.

As the first covenant mentioned in The Bible (The marriage of Adam to Eve) is a mirror image (Flesh of my flesh bone of my bones) Gods covenant with Abraham is a mirror image.

The cup is the new covenant in Christ’s blood, it is his blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

The whole of Gods plan for the redemption of the human race through covenant was coming to it’s ultimate climax within time. -
Psalm 116:13
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

King David foresaw this day.

The cup of salvation is the new covenant in Christ’s blood, it is his blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Yet religion belittles it by dogmatic vanities.

Transubstantiation, consubstantiation, sacremantarianism, symbolism

What worthless vanity!

Psalm 116:12-14
12 How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfil my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
