What does the Bible say about the cup in the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

The cup in the Lord's Supper symbolizes the New Testament in Christ's blood, representing salvation and the covenant of grace.

The cup in the Lord's Supper is a profound symbol of the New Testament, as Jesus indicated in Luke 22:20 when he said, 'This cup is the New Testament in my blood which is shed for you.' This signifies that the blessings of salvation and God's everlasting covenant of grace are found in Christ's sacrifice. Like the Passover lamb's blood which saved Israel, Christ's blood is pivotal for the redemption of His people, emphasizing that without this covenant, there would be no redemption, forgiveness of sins, or reconciliation to God. Thus, the cup is essential in understanding the foundational truths of our salvation in Christ.
