The establishment of this rite loomed large for me because it was the one and only time that the Gospels record Jesus using the word “covenant.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.” (Mark 14:23–24)
That's pretty staggering to think about...
