Jesus established God's New Covenant with us in the spirit of the Covenant Moses established at Mount Sinai.
Moses sprinkled the people with blood, and in His covenant, Christ sprinkles us with His own precious blood to cleanse us from sin. He indeed offers His very self for our deliverance from sin and redemption.
In the ancient Near East, parties entering into a covenant shared a meal. This New Covenant is now something we partake of, and we are thus transformed to be as He is, carrying His presence into the world. We walk before Him all our days, lifting up the cup in thanksgiving to Him who has saved us.
