QUESTION --->Did the New Covenant go into effect after the death of Christ or at the Last Supper?
None of the above proves that the wine is not his blood of the new covenant.
These 2 verses are not explicitly linked to the Passover. Here Jesus asks his disciples to repeat the meal in His personal memory and He says His death is the seal of the new covenant. The orientation is to the past. The similarities to the Pauline tradition of the Lord's Supper in 1 Cor. 11:23-25 are striking.
As the Minister of the Sanctuary, Christ is in God's presence, ministering the grace of the sanctuary to us on earth.
In completing the work of redemption there had to be the establishment of a new covenant of which Christ is the mediator - in that O.T. animal sacrifices could not do it.
The Covenant is not a Book, it's not good vibes, its not magic "I believe" that is the New Covenant, its the Eucharist. “This is the chalice [of my Blood], the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you." [Luke 22:20].
Funny how many Protestants churches around here will hold their Christmas services on Christmas Eve, the day BEFORE Christmas and not have any problem celebrating the birth of our Lord a day early.
How are they denying Christ's Blood is required to seal the New Covenant?
Yet that is all that the RCC is about its catechism full of false teachings, the good vibes it gets from lying about its victims and the magic of its sacraments and pagan practices. The communion is a memorial of what God has done, not the NC. You believe wrong because you are taught falsely.
That is the truth.
I didn't say blood
He didn’t die at the Last Supper
If it only needed communion then why did Jesus go to the cross. What a lot of unnecessary suffering.
straight to the point:
nor was I taught that He was when I was a kid in catholic schools. we were taught He died on the cross on Calvary.
You keep following the words of men. You only quote the scripture you think will make your case. But you don't even attempt to apply sound exegesis to it.
What did Jesus mean when He said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood”? | GotQuestions.org
What did Jesus mean when He said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood”? What is the meaning of Luke 22:20?www.gotquestions.org
At the Last Supper, Jesus took a cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you” (Luke 22:20). Moments before, the Lord had broken the bread and given it to His disciples with the words, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me” (verse 19). With these symbolic actions Jesus instituted the ordinance of communion, or the Lord’s Table.
The “new covenant” that Jesus spoke of is in contrast to the Old Covenant, the conditional agreement that God had made with the Israelites through Moses. The Old Covenant established laws and ceremonies that separated the Jews from the other nations, defined sin, and showcased God’s provision of forgiveness through sacrifice. The New Covenant was predicted in Jeremiah 31:31–33.
The Old Covenant required blood sacrifices, but it could not provide a final sacrifice for sin. The Old Covenant required repeated, daily sacrifices of animals as a reminder of the people’s sin. But, as Scripture says, “it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4). Under the Old Covenant, the same inadequate sacrifices were constantly repeated. For every sin, the process was replicated, day after day, month after month, year after year. The Old Covenant never provided a full, complete sacrifice for sin. “For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second” (Hebrews 8:7, ESV).
Jesus came to establish a “better covenant” (Hebrews 7:22), a “new covenant” that Jesus said was in His blood. Jesus shed His blood on the cross to take away the sins of the world (John 1:29) and ratify the new covenant between God and man. On the night He was betrayed, Jesus took the cup and said to His disciples, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:27–28). By “this cup,” Jesus referred, by metonymy, to the contents of the cup, which was the “fruit of the vine” (Mark 14:25). This was representative of Christ’s blood. Jesus gave His disciples the cup, infusing it with new meaning, and told them drinking it was to be a memorial of His death: it was to be drunk “in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11:25). Now, “whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (verse 26).
The New Covenant is based on faith in the shed blood of Christ to take away sin, not on repeated sacrifices or any other kind of work (see Ephesians 2:8–9). Because Jesus is the holy Lamb of God, His one-time sacrifice is sufficient to atone for the sins of all who believe in Him. We “partake” of Jesus by coming to Him in faith (John 1:12), trusting that His shed blood (and broken body) is sufficient to pay for our sins. The elements of bread and wine commemorate His death and the shedding of His blood. When we eat those elements in communion with other believers, we affirm our faith and fellowship in Christ.
The "Covenant" is certainly not one of the Roman Catholic Church's 'reproductions' of a sacrificial meal. Jesus used the bread and the wine that was already on the table to institute a new way of remembering Him, which is still used today. Jesus broke the unleavened bread and shared it with His disciples asking them to think of His body which would soon be broken for them. He also took the wine from the table and asked His followers to think of his blood, which would soon be poured out for their salvation.
Some believe it was the year of a double passover. Interesting but makes no difference. Jesus did not die at the LS.
