In the Upper Room, Jesus transitioned from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. Passover was linked to the Old Covenant when Israel was liberated from Egypt and became God’s people at Mount Sinai. But Passover also pointed forward to the coming of the true Lamb of God, that was Jesus Christ. Jesus used Passover elements as symbols of His life and death that we should always remember. The New Covenant was ratified with Jesus’ blood shed on the Cross, which happened the next day. By the words “all of you,” Jesus invites everyone into this new covenant of salvation. Have you responded to His invitation?
