It buys over their sicknesses,
their flus, their colds, stuff like this. One of those who requested
a prayer, I don't know whether I mentioned it, Nurse Misty Cutshaw
was a good friend of a lot of folks. She guided me, I remember
her family and her prayers. And also, Claire Sharon, a good
friend of mine who's going Monday, tomorrow, for a biopsy
on a growth in his trachea. I don't know what it is. He told
me it's what I had last time I got it, so it's true. Dr. Gonsalve,
he don't know, but he said that it's affecting his breathing. His trachea has shrunk to about
the size of a pencil. So he's having a hard time breathing.
It's affecting his ability to do about anything except sit
around. So remember him in your prayer. And the others, of course,
in your prayer also. Trish Trapper was moved to Aggregata,
I guess, to rest home in that situation. Three and a half,
yeah. Fell out of bed the first night,
so they had to put her in the hospital. So remember her in
your prayer. And Marvin Stoner, I haven't had any word on him,
but he didn't have a stroke, and we're thankful for that. Other than that, I can't think
of any announcements that we're going to observe before this table
this afternoon or after the morning service. Let's begin our worship
service with hymn number 129. 129. And in my sorrow, God would heal
me, and save me from such a torment. where I first saw the light,
and the burden of my heart rolled away. It was there, by grace, I received
my sight, and now I am happy all the day. Was it for Christ
that I am loved? He rode her on the tree Amazingly,
he praised her love And loved me unduly And the cross, and
the cross Where I first saw the light And the burden of my heart
rolled away It was there, my grace, I received my son, And
now I am happy on the day. Well, my first son, in darkness
hide, And shut his glory day. We may forget, for when the creatures
sleep It was there I first saw the
light and the burden of my heart go away. It was there I raised,
I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day. where I first It was there, my grace, I received
my sight, and now I am happy all the day. Forty-five. Am I too loud? No. I don't have you hearing
anything on my thing. No, you can hear yourself. I
can hear myself. That's amazing. I forgot mine.
You can turn it in. I can't hear you. What? They're
not hearing you back here. What? Come up here and borrow
my hearing aid. You can just talk without it. Just talk without
it. Huh? How's that? I can hear that,
but you can't hear me. That sounds good. Excuse me,
Psalm 110. Well, it is a hymn. Psalm 110. The Lord, that's Jehovah, all
capital letters, said unto my Lord, I deny the Lord Jesus Christ. Sit thou at my right hand until
I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of
thy strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine
enemies. Thy people shall be willing in
the day of thy power. In the beauty of holiness from
the womb of the morning, thou hast the view of thy youth. The
Lord has sworn and will not repent. Thou art a priest forever after
the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall
strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge
among the heathen. He shall fill the places with
dead bodies. He shall wound the heads over
many countries. He shall drink of the brook in
his way. Therefore, shall he lift up the
head of his father. Our father in heaven, we count ourselves privileged
to have this book, which liveth and abideth forever.
When all else fades and corrupts and goes away, this remains true
and faithful. We thank you, Father, that we
have the privilege to enter into things like this conversation
of you and the Lord Jesus Christ that David was privy to. To hear
things said about our Savior, such wondrous, amazing, and great
things, does our heart good. Father, we pray for those who
are sick, those who've been mentioned on the prayer list. We ask the
Lord you'd be with them, those who've lost loved ones, Those
are still infirmed with whatever ailment they have. We're thankful
that since so many of us have recovered from our illnesses,
we praise you for good health. We ask, Lord, today if you would
be pleased as we worship you in the preaching of the gospel
and the singing of hymns and receiving at the Lord's table
and this afternoon the fellowship around the table, as you would
bless us to ever keep in mind And what we have, we have because
of great mercy and grace. We deserve the very bits of eternal
damnation. We all have sinned and come short
of your glory. We're thankful that in spite
of what we are and what we do, that you've shown us grace and
mercy, brought us to the feet of the Savior, and caused us
to realize our sinfulness caused us to cry out for mercy, made
us willing in the day of your power. Help us this day to worship
you, to sing praises to your name. For thou art God and there
is none beside thee. There is none like unto thee.
You declare the end from the beginning. Lord, you are God. You do all
your pleasure. If it would please thee this
day, to warm our hearts toward our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We certainly appreciate it. Help us now, we pray in Christ's name, amen. Number 45. of Jesus His glory is glorious, He rules
over all! Baruch atah Adonai, Almighty
to save, And still He is nigh, His presence we have! The great congregation, ? Salvation to Jesus our King ?
? Salvation to God who sits on the throne ? ? Let all cry aloud
and honor the Son ? ? Salvation to Jesus the angels proclaim
? They bowed their faces and worshiped the Lamb They paid
us a tour and gave Him His pride All glory and power and wisdom
and might All honor and praise Let us pray. Father in heaven,
we approach in the name, the wonderful name, the only name,
under heaven, given among men, whereby we must
be saved. It is in that name we approach
you, for you have told us to do so. And Lord, we ask in your
name that we give us a cause of who he is and what he's accomplished
on our behalf. We know that you have given him
freely to your people. And within you, freely giving
them everything. We return to you that which belongs to you,
bless you so it's your way. On Thanksgiving, we pray in Christ's
name. This psalm is a preacher's dream,
a divinely ordered outline that stirs the hearts of believers
and salutes the proud religious Pharisees. When our Lord quoted
this psalm in Matthew, it brought to a screeching halt all the
questions, all the Q&A of the Pharisees and the scribes and
religious rulers that were just full of question and answers
and opinions but had not the boldest notion of what the true
question was. You look over there in Matthew
chapter 22, and these Pharisees approach him. In verse 41 of chapter 22 of
Matthew, it says, while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them, they didn't ask him what's the best law, who's going
to be buried in heaven, all that sort of thing, things that don't
matter. And he asked the Pharisees to say, what think ye of Christ? the Christ, the anointed, whose
son is he? And they said to him, well, he's
the son of David, because he's in David's lineage. He said to
them, how then does David in spirit call him Lord? Saying, the Lord said unto my
Lord, sit thou on my right hand till I make thy enemies thine
stewards. If David then called him Lord,
how is he his son? And no man was able to answer
him a word. Neither doth any man from that
day forward ask him any more questions. Shut up the multitude. He quoted this psalm. Psalm 110
is where it all was quoted from. This psalm is the inspired inventory
of the glory of the person and the work and the exaltation of
our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a psalm of praise and a
psalm of promise, and uniquely so, for it is a monologue from
the lips of the sovereign as he lays the garland of praise
upon the son of his love. The Lord said to my Lord, this
is God making promises to things will we surely come to
pass for he said I have sworn I have sworn God cannot swear
by greater than himself so he swears by himself. He's talking
about the successful return of the Lord Jesus Christ after accomplishing
the full and complete salvation of the elect. David here is made
privy to a conversation that will take place These words, these words of a
father beaming with pride, takes place at the exaltation of Christ
after his death, burial, and resurrection, when God gave him
a name that is above every name, that it is that name every knee
should bow and every tongue confess that he's Lord to the glory of
the Father. David hears, as it were, the
gates lift up their heads, as spoken up in Psalm 24, and the
everlasting doors lifting up as the King of Glory comes in. Lift up your heads, O ye gates,
lift up your everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come
in. Who is the King of Glory? It's Jesus Christ. It's Jesus
Christ. What David is privileged to hear
is God the Father laying accolade upon accolade on the Son for
His job. Well done. Well done. for glorifying his holy name.
And as David was allowed into the Holy of Holies, we are also
allowed there. Imagine, if you will, that great
day of horrible wonder has passed. Christ has given himself to be
manhandled by God-hating men in religion, and is born up under
the full, unrelenting vengeance of God's holiness against sin. given his soul as a sacrifice
for us, and has come out of the grave victorious. He has ascended on high, having
led captivity captive, and the Father greets him with joy and
paternal enthusiasm. The Lord said to my Lord, sit
thou on my right hand until I make all thine enemies thy footstool. The first word out of the Father's
mouth, done. The Father is completely
satisfied with that work, so much so it says in Hebrews 10,
after Christ has perfected forever them that are sanctified by his
one sacrifice, that where remission of sin is, there is no more need
for those sacrifices. God is highly exalted here. Christ
has done it. He's done it. We don't have a
religion with two letters, we have a religion with four letters.
Our most religion is D.O.D. Our religion is D-O-N-E, done. Salvation is done. Christ is done and he has redeemed
every one of his chosen race, every one of his elect. Now he
ascends to the place of exaltation, the throne of salvation, the
right hand of God. Yonder at the right hand of the
majesty on high is our salvation. is the salvation of God. He sits, as it says in Genesis
49, as a young lion fresh from the prey, and as an old lion,
and who shall rouse him up? God is manufacturing a footstool
for his beautiful feet out of the wood, hay, and stubble of
all his enemies. The Lord, it says, shall send
the rod, thy rod, the rod of thy strength out of Zion. out of the church, his mystical
body, I will send the rod, the scepter. That rod we know is
two-fold, it is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, where
it's the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to
the Jew first and to the Gentile. It's revealed therein is the
glory of God revealed from faith to faith. As the Lord has sent me, Christ
said, so send I you. This is what the job of the church
is. It's not a social activity. It's
not a community activity. It's a center where the gospel
is preached and preached again. And this center also means acceptance
because of righteousness. When Esther approached his hazardous,
he set forth his and then received her and accepted
her because that scepter had transferred something in his
mind to her and made her royal and now she could be in the presence
of the Almighty King. Genesis 49 says a scepter shall
not leave Judah till Shiloh come. That's the Lord Jesus Christ.
That word Shiloh, six different names it means and every one
of them points to the Lord Jesus Christ. And our Lord, when he
glorified his son, over in Hebrews chapter one this is the most
astounding statement this is the father speaking to the son
in Hebrews chapter one after making it clear that he's the
message and he's the messenger that he's the word of God that
he has indeed purged our sins and sat down on the right hand
of the father he's obtaining the inheritance more excellent
than any human being ever had and he says this to him in verse
eight he says but unto the son He said, Thy throne. How does He approach the Son?
Oh God. This is the Father talking to
the Son. Thy throne, oh God, is forever. And a scepter of righteousness
is the scepter of Thy kingdom. When our Lord extends that righteousness,
that righteous scepter to His people, He's not saying, you
touch it. He's saying, I'm going to touch you. We don't touch
righteousness and become righteous. Righteousness touches us and
we become righteousness. He is our righteousness. The scepter is the only means
of acceptance, and this scepter is the only revealed in the gospel
for their end. It's the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith. The success of the gospel has
never been in doubt, for the Lord has given Christ authority
over all flesh. that he might give eternal life
to as many as God has given him. And this is eternal life, that
he might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
he has sent. He who is the gospel. I never
will forget the first time I heard somebody say that. It was Henry
Mahan, at the Rosemount Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. He said,
Jesus Christ is the gospel. He is the gospel. He who is the
gospel, who is the subject, the Bible, who is the substance of
the Bible, who is the word himself of truth, sits serenely and omnipotently
and unassailably as ruler over everything and everybody to ensure
that the gospel will not return unto the void, but will accomplish
as appointed in the saving of the elect and the sealing of
the infidel in his condemnation. That's what the gospel does.
It's a two-fold thing. It will not only warm the hearts
of God's elect and draw them to Jesus Christ, it will harden
the hearts of those whom God has not chosen unto salvation.
And it's that simple. That's the declaration of the
Word of God. He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. And
whom He will, He hardeneth. Don't expend your energy trying
to defend the Gospel or protect it from its midst of thy enemies." What does
that mean? That's what it says. This is
what God said to His Son. Run the show. Run the show. It's yours to run. Step into
the midst of the rioting, God-hating throng and control their thoughts. Direct their feet. Put words
in their mouths. Turn their hearts like the rivers
of water with us, whoever you will. while they, all oblivious
and mindless pawns, do your bidding, thinking all the while that they
are exercising their free will." God says, I give you absolute
authority over all flesh to give eternal life to as many as thou
hast given him. Rule thou. This is the promise
to Christ. Rule thou. And He says this about
His people. shall be willing in the day of thy power. That cleared up. In the beauty of holiness, from
the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth. Christ
has a people given to him by the Father, a people who are
his own. by blood purchase. You are bought
with a price. You are not your own. They are
His by marriage. They are His by everlasting electing
love. They are His by the eternal covenant
of grace. And this is the absolute declaration
to everyone for whom Christ died, everyone for whom He has finished
the work on Calvary, and everyone for whom He is now exalted. Every one of them will come. All that the Father giveth me
shall come to me. And him that cometh to me, I
will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
This is my Father's will, which is sent me. Of all he has given
me, I shall lose nothing, but raise it up again in the last
day. Everyone for whom Christ died will come, and they will
do so most willingly. Thy people shall be willing in
the day of thy power. They will believe, because God
has made them believers by giving them the gift of faith. Believing
doesn't make them believers. They believe because they are
believers. Believing is what believers do.
It's what sheep do. They believe because they are
sheep. My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. And I give
to them eternal life. They will come to Christ because
they're willing to come. They'll want to come. God jiggles
their willer. He messes with their wanter.
He touches their heart and takes away their stony heart and gives
them a heart of flesh. God unites two things here, the
will and the power. Thy people shall be willing in
the day of thy power. Most everybody does this and
most everybody's dead wrong in doing so because most everybody
asserts that the will is synonymous with power to perform. Here is
the blessed and divine distinction. Their will is contingent on God's
power. Always that way, not their own.
Here the truth about the exercising of the will jumps right out at
you. The will cannot perform without
power, and that power to perform is vested only in one person.
Power belongeth to God, saith the scripture. Here and only
here is any free will. Only God's will is free, and
only in the capacity of a power to perform it. Everybody's got
a will. There's only one free will in
the sense of capacity to perform. That's God's will. That's God's
will. No will in heaven or earth is
free to go against its own self or its own desires or its own
nature. Not even God's will is free there. God cannot lie. He cannot do
anything but good. He cannot sin, because it's not
in His holy, immaculate character to do so. He don't want to do
that, so He won't. He won't. Men will, according to They choose what they want. Never what they don't want. And the power to perform belongs
to God alone. Choose what you will. You make
your decisions. We all do. We choose things every
day in our life. But we have no power to perform
what we choose until God gives us that power. The will is found
in every creature. The power to perform is found
in no creature. The devil, he's powerful. We don't want to mess
with him. He's handled people like us for thousands of years,
and we're no trouble to him. I know preachers say, when we
run the devil out of town, they better shut up. Because the devil's
got a hold of them already to make them say that. But the devil's will is something
it must be. I mean, he's powerful. One day he said, you know what
I will? I will ascend to the throne of
heaven. The devil said that. I will be like the most high
God. I will be great. And God said,
you will go to hell. He will, but he couldn't perform.
Paul, a great apostle, A man who was checked in his
course of hatred against God on the road to Damascus and turned
into the great apostle. One born out of season, but great
in every way. When he assessed his own will
and ability, he said, what I would do, I don't do. What I don't want to do, that's
what I end up doing. The power to perform is not.
The power to perform is not. This speaks of the people being
willing in the day of His power and the beauties of holiness.
It's a marvelous metaphorical poetic language. This stanza
describes the reason why Christ's people are willing. God's power
has made them willing. but not in some supposed struggle
where the Lord snatches them up by the hairs of their head.
No, they are willing because God, by His sovereign power,
His sovereign mercy, and His sovereign grace, because of the
work of Christ, has made them beautifully holy in His sight,
to have fellowship with His divine person. He's made them holy. How? Christ, by God, you are in Christ,
you God, who made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification,
and redemption, the beauties of holiness. Christ, our righteousness,
that pristine and immaculate robe, the adornment of the bride.
And Ezekiel, after that child was cast aside and left for dead
and died, God came by and said to her, live, and she lived.
And he said, when I saw thee in the time of thy blood, I said,
live, and when I saw thee, I said it's the time of love and I threw
my robe over you and I took you and I gave you adornments and
I made you beautiful. That's the beauty of holiness.
But just in case you don't understand that you're really not beautiful
except as your relationship with Jesus Christ. He says your beauty
was renowned in all the nations. She is willing because she's
righteous. She is willing because that's
what the righteous are. They're willing. They're willing
in the day of God's power from the womb in the morning. Now
it's the due of the youth. There's a word picture describing
the manner in which God's willing people are manifest. They will
not appear by the will of man, or by cajoling, or by pressurized
persuasion, or by manipulating mob mentality, or by invitation,
or by employing some sad tales, or some gang saving. There will
be no human fingerprints on them when they appear. Though they
hear the gospel and it is preached to them by a man, no credit can
be ever given to the man. the dew that miraculously appears
on the grass in the morning. It's just there. 1 Kings chapter
6 says when the Lord built this house, His temple, His people,
He said there was no sound of any work being done in the temple. It was silent. And they cut those stones and
named every one of them and put a number on where they would
fit. And they brought those stones in and they made that temple
without the sound of any saw or any hammer or any noise of
any work. That's why you were saved. Oh,
you were his before the foundation of the world. You were one of
those stones of the temple. Says you are living stones, lively
stones. And in the time you were brought
under the gospel of Jesus Christ and your stone was laid there
in the temple, and all of a sudden, there you were. There you were. Stones of this house were cut
in a quarry. And we come to worship one morning
and there they are. Strangers who we find are our
long lost family. They are willing, righteous people
of God, appearing as the dew, and we can but say it is the
Lord's doing, and it's marvelous in our eyes. No matter their
chronological age, speak to them of Christ and His work, and they
will respond with youthful joy, unspeakable and full of glory.
They have the dew of Christ's youth and vigor. I remember I
used to love to preach grace to Dan Scott. He'd sit there,
and the minute I'd start talking about grace, his eyes would fill
up with tears. Every child of God loves to hear
about Jesus Christ. That's what they want to hear
about. That's the only thing that'll do it for them. It's
the only thing that convicts them, the only thing that convicts
them, the only thing that comforts them, the only thing that consoles
them, the only thing that keeps them going and motivates them
in this world is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing
else works. All the preachers can stand up
and tell them to not commit adultery, and everybody who don't commit
adultery in the church says, boy, I'm righteous. I'm righteous. But tell everyone that your only
hope in this world and the next is Jesus Christ alone. And that's
the message for ever so many. And I will do it for you. Since the Lord is sworn and will
not repent, thou art a priest forever after the order of El
Kizilek. El Kizilek, that strange character mentioned here and
also in Genesis, met with Abraham after he came back from slewing
the five kings and recovering the lot, met him with wine and
bread. He was a priest, Melech Tzedek,
and he was king of Salem. He was a picture and a type of
the Lord Jesus Christ. Some people said he was a Christophany
of the Lord in person. God is sworn, and so it shall
be. God is sworn, and who can turn
it back? The one who sits at the right hand of the Father
is king, And he's a high priest, a faithful high priest who is
king of righteousness and king of peace. One who has no beginning and
no end, an eternal high priest in an eternally chosen people. A worthy high priest who represents
them from all eternity. Because he has represented them
from all eternity, their standing is safe. and secure because he
now represents them before God, ever living to make intercession
for his people. By the absolute appointment and
anointment of God he is sworn and so it shall be. For God has
sworn it. The Lord at thy right hand shall
strike through kings in the day of thy wrath. Tome of power. Strike through
kings. God promises his son that the
highest and the noblest of human rank have targets painted on
their back. You see the kings of the earth
gathering together and doing whatsoever God has appointed
them to do. These diminutive despots, these minute monarchs,
Satan, sin, self, and death run them through with the sword of
truth is what God will do. The words of thy mouth impale
them on the spear of thy sovereign rule, set them up just to take
them down, according to Romans 9. See their hearts, set their
hearts as a mark of your arrows. Ground them as Pharaoh in the
bottom of the sea. Command your worms to eat them
as they did Herod the Great. When the people said, he's like
a god, the worms came out and began to devour him right on
the spot. The Lord at thy right hand shall
strike through kings in the day of thy wrath. The promise made
to Christ by the Father is that he shall judge among the heathen.
The word judge means to make distinction between this heathen
and that heathen because we're all heathens. Or as we used to say, heathens.
We're a bunch of heathens. Choosing one and bypassing another.
Christ is the one who makes one to differ from another. He did
it by And this will be so plainly true
that every believer will utter the divine disclaimer, yet not
I, but Christ. I am what I am by the grace of
God alone. Since he will fill the places
with dead bodies, he shall wound the heads over many nations.
God hath ordained Tophet, Isaiah said. Hell hath enlarged itself
to receive the carcasses of those who oppose the king. These ersatz
sovereigns, these diminutive despots of these dinky domains
will be dismissed out of hand, bound, gagged, and tossed into
a pit when the conquering majestic king, as it says in Isaiah, eases
himself of his adversaries. In the twinkling of an eye, he
will give Egypt and Sheba for his people, men for their lives,
And it will take less effort than it is for us to blink. And it says, he shall drink of
the book in the way. How sweet this is. This is a
wonderful phrase depicting the work of Christ on behalf of his
people. The word book can be interpreted torrent. In reverse
to the huge angry tidal wave, the mighty billows of God's wrath
against sin. The Brooke Kidron was a gully,
dry most of the year, but full of refuse. All the carcasses
and used up sacrifices from the Temple were cast there. Human
waste was cast there. What does that mean? That's a
symbolic of our sin. Our wretchedness, our vileness,
our putrefaction and corruption. He was made to be sin for us.
He knew no sin. We might be made with the righteousness
of God in Him, but once a year, March to July, sometime in October, Kidron cleaned, washed all of
Kidron's refuse and boundless into the Dead Sea where it belonged. That's a picture of Christ, our
salvation. He drank from that dredge. He
drank the dredge dry. He drank the cup of God's wrath.
And here's the thing, he didn't drink almost all of it. He drank
all of it for his people. God the judge spent himself in
vengeance on his blessed lamb. Note well the language. There
is a natural flow. There is no but, no surprise,
no dramatic pause, no break of thought. It says this, he shall
drink in the way. He shall consume all of God's
wrath, imbibe God's anger and justice against sin, and drink
it dry along the way. That sounds like a plan, doesn't
it? Along the way. It's as if his reward for such
a complete success, therefore, shall he lift up, be lifted up. To rise, to rise up high, that's
what that means. Be high, be lofty, be exalted,
to be high, to be set on high, to be raised up, to be uplifted. The head, the chief, the top,
the beginning, the captain, the sum, the first principle, ruler,
head, top, summit, upper part, whatever you want to say, chief,
total, that's him. He is the beginning and the end.
Beginning and the end. This is God's promise to his
son. When he took on you, the sons of Abraham, when he took
on you, the vile and wretched sinners, and died in your room
instead, he drank of that vile blood. God Almighty, whose eyes are
too pure to be old evil, before whom the sun, moon, and stars
are not pure in His sight, will never, ever, ever charge you
with sin. And that's what we're going to
celebrate right now. And when I ordered the tray,
he took the bread and Passover feast. And I'm having bread and
breaking game. So I would say, take, eat. This
is my body broken for you. So what did you do with it? You
remember, it was made. Same night, he took the cup, which was new
wine, which is what was used in the Passover feast. And he
said, take, drink of this cup. It's a new testament in my blood.
So what did you do? They said, just share forth my
death till I come. And you just saw whatever all that this psalm
led up to was that final glory. That's what it's all about. That's what this is about. For
believers to take up this table, to eat this bread and drink this
wine, is to say, Jesus Christ's death is my salvation. That's my salvation. He died
the death that I owed God. He paid the debt that I could
not pay. He finished the work of salvation.
and I can celebrate and commemorate his death in this wonderful ordinance
that the Lord has given his church. Let's ask the Lord to bless him.
Father, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ that you bless these
elements to our understanding that we'd be able to discern
the body and blood of Jesus Christ by what these elements represent
and willingly receive this where our sins were put away,
never to be remembered again. And we can hear in this day and
time, 20 centuries later, rehearse and give thanks for what Jesus
Christ has done for us, for us to do so in Christ's name. Okay. On the night our Lord was betrayed,
he took that bread, the unleavened bread, at Passover feast. At
Passover, which he said to his disciples, I've been waiting
for this one to start what we call the Lord's table. He said,
this is my body broken for you. Do it in remembrance of me. On that same night, he took the
cup. And he said a very interesting thing, which set aside all the
old covenant altogether in one fell swoop. He said, this cup is the new
testament, the new covenant in my blood. As often as you eat
this bread and drink this cup, you shall mourn my death till
