Luke 22:20

Luke 22:20 NLT
20 After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
The sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper were instituted by Jesus Christ as signs and seals of the covenant. They explain the basis of this covenant and apply its benefits to believers. They replace circumcision and the Passover which were the sacraments of the old covenant.
The sacraments as signs of the new covenant
Baptism
Mt 28:19 Baptism is one sign of being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:19 NLT
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38 NLT
38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:41 NLT
41 Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.
The Lord’s Supper
1 Co 11:23–25 The new covenant was sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:23–25 NLT
23 For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread 24 and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.”
The sacraments as a participation in the body of Christ
Baptism
Ga 3:27 In the NT baptism immediately follows conversion and testifies to the individual’s union with Christ.
Galatians 3:27 NLT
27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.
Romans 6:3 NLT
3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?
The Lord’s Supper
1 Co 10:16–17 The “body of Christ” is a term which goes beyond Jesus Christ to the church. Those who partake of the bread in this way are declaring their membership of the church.
1 Corinthians 10:16–17 NLT
16 When we bless the cup at the Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ? 17 And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body.
Mt 26:26; Jn 6:32–35; Jn 6:48 Jesus Christ likens himself to bread as he is the source of spiritual life and nourishment; Jn 6:50–58 The believer who eats the bread of the Lord’s Supper is renewing his or her dependence on Jesus Christ for spiritual life.
Matthew 26:26 NLT
26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.”
John 6:32–35 NLT
32 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. 33 The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 “Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day.” 35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
John 6:48 NLT
48 Yes, I am the bread of life!
John 6:48 NLT
48 Yes, I am the bread of life!
John 6:50–58 NLT
50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.” 52 Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked. 53 So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. 54 But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”
The sacraments as a participation in the death of Christ
Baptism
Ro 6:3–4 Through baptism individuals declare that they have applied to themselves the death of Jesus Christ which atones for sin.
Romans 6:3–4 NLT
3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
Ac 2:38; Ac 22:16 Baptism does not accomplish the cleansing from sin but it is the outward sign that this has taken place by faith; Ro 6:5–7; Col 2:12; Tt 3:5; 1 Pe 3:21
Acts 2:38 NLT
38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 22:16 NLT
16 What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord.’
Romans 6:5–7 NLT
5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. 6 We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.
Colossians 2:12 NLT
12 For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
Titus 3:5 NLT
5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
1 Peter 3:21 NLT
21 And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The sacraments of the old covenant
Circumcision
Ac 7:8 Circumcision was the initiation rite under the old covenant.
Acts 7:8 NLT
8 “God also gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision at that time. So when Abraham became the father of Isaac, he circumcised him on the eighth day. And the practice was continued when Isaac became the father of Jacob, and when Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs of the Israelite nation.
Ge 17:10–14; Ro 2:28–29 Circumcision was never meant as merely an outward rite. To be effective it required a right attitude of heart; Ro 4:10–11 Circumcision was the seal of Abraham’s righteousness imputed to him by his faith; Col 2:11–12 Circumcision has now been superseded by baptism for the Christian as the rite of initiation.
Genesis 17:10–14 NLT
10 This is the covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Each male among you must be circumcised. 11 You must cut off the flesh of your foreskin as a sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. This applies not only to members of your family but also to the servants born in your household and the foreign-born servants whom you have purchased. 13 All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant. 14 Any male who fails to be circumcised will be cut off from the covenant family for breaking the covenant.”
Romans 2:28–29 NLT
28 For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. 29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.
Romans 4:10–11 NLT
10 But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised! 11 Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.
Colossians 2:11–12 NLT
11 When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature. 12 For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
In Conclusion:
The Passover
Ex 12:25–27 The Passover meal was instituted as a regular commemoration of Israel’s redemption from slavery in Egypt
Exodus 12:25–27 NLT
25 When you enter the land the Lord has promised to give you, you will continue to observe this ceremony. 26 Then your children will ask, ‘What does this ceremony mean?’ 27 And you will reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. And though he struck the Egyptians, he spared our families.’ ” When Moses had finished speaking, all the people bowed down to the ground and worshiped.
Lk 22:15–16 The death of Jesus Christ is closely associated with the Passover by its timing and meaning. The Lord’s Supper has superseded the Passover as the corporate meal commemorating the act of redemption; 1 Co 5:7
Luke 22:15–16 NLT
15 Jesus said, “I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins. 16 For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 5:7 NLT
7 Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
Are you ready to get rid of the old yeast and let in the new?
Do you see the importance of the sacraments?
Lets partake of the sacraments!
Have a Great Week!!!
