'The Gift of My Blood' — Mark 14:23-24
"And [Jesus] took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to [the Twelve], and they all drank from it. And he said to them, "This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many."
Key Thought
Jesus' blood, remembered in this last supper with his followers and continually celebrated by his followers today, seals a new covenant between God and Jesus' followers. This is a covenant of grace, love, and life brought about by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. This new covenant is our way of life as Jesus' followers and is a better and eternal covenant provided to us by the blood of Jesus.
Today's Prayer
Father in heaven, thank you for the price that was paid to bring us into a new covenant relationship with you. May my life be lived to honor that price and to fulfill that covenant. In Jesus' name. Amen.
