The Covenant Confirmed in His Blood

Written By Ricardo McGee

St Luke 22:20

This passage from Luke directs us to the essence of the Messianic covenant. The term "new testament" (Greek diathēkē) resonates with the prophet Jeremiah's proclamation of a new covenant (Jer. 31:31–34), inscribed not on stone tablets, but on hearts transformed by grace. When Yeshua elevates the cup and proclaims it to be “shed for you,” He articulates His role as both High Priest and Lamb. This is not merely symbolic; it is sacrificial. His blood fulfills and transcends that of the paschal lamb in Egypt.

At the Passover table, He reinterprets the meal—not discarding the old but elucidating its complete significance. The Exodus was not the pinnacle. It constituted a premonition. In Messiah, the supreme exodus—liberation from sin and death—is accomplished via His blood. This blood confirms the covenant, analogous to Moses sprinkling the book and the people in Exodus 24:8, proclaiming, “Behold the blood of the covenant.” What is the distinction? The blood of Yeshua is definitive, everlasting, and singular.

This is not simply doctrine—it is fate. Each time we partake of the cup in commemoration, we declare the truth of His death and the assurance of His return. The blood is not solely retrospective. It is prescient. It refers to a restored kingdom, a revitalized Israel, and a redeemed creation.

• The cup symbolizes the new covenant prophesied by Jeremiah and established by Yeshua.

• His blood actualizes the typology of the Passover lamb and the Mosaic covenant.

• This act is simultaneously sacrificial and prophetic—it proclaims current atonement and future restoration.

• The covenant is both personal (“for you”) and communal—uniting the redeemed of Israel and the nations.

• Messianic believers consume this cup with reverence and anticipation, seeing it as a testament to the Lamb who was sacrificed and who will return.
