Matthew chapter 26 verse 29

Jesus said 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.

Oh, these words from Jesus after instituting the Lord's supper.

He takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, gives it to his disciples, says, take, eat, this is my body, and he takes a cup, gives thanks,

gives it to them, says drink of it, all of you, this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

This bread in this cup a symbol a picture of his body, his blood that were about to be given for our sins, that have

now been given for our sins so that we now celebrate as a central part of our

worship as the church. This meal we take bread, we take a cup, and we remember when Jesus prepared to go to the

cross, took a piece of bread, broke it, gave it to his disciples and said,

this is my body.

Do this in remembrance of me.

This is my body.

And when we take that bread we remember how he gave his body for the

salvation of our souls and we take this cup and we drink it and when we do we remember that our sins have been covered by the blood of Jesus that we have entered into a covenant relationship with God

that is based on His mercy, poured out forth the many for the forgiveness of our sins and then so then we get to

verse 29 and Jesus says 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? This Lord's Supper, oh the Lord's Supper is a meal of anticipation.

Because we celebrate this meal now,

but we know there's coming a day

when we will see Jesus face and we will drink this cup with him in his father's kingdom.
