Luke 22:21

Key Reflection

In Luke 22:21, Jesus uses the act of drinking from the cup at the Last Supper to symbolize the establishment of a new covenant with His disciples. This covenant is sealed by His blood, which He states will be poured out for them—a reference to His impending sacrifice on the cross. The cup represents both the suffering He is about to endure and the future blessings that this sacrifice will bring, marking a profound shift from the old covenant to a new relationship of grace and redemption.
