The above verse records the scene when Christ celebrated the Passover with his beloved disciples; showing them the full extend of His love. According to the Bible, only through the blood of Jesus given to us through the Passover we are given eternal life and can go back to the Kingdom of Heaven.
“I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love…” Isaiah 55:3
The everlasting covenant is God’s faithful love promised to us. Then what is the everlasting covenant by which we can receive God’s faithful love?
“Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant…” Hebrews 13:20
Everlasting = Eternal (last forever) Covenant is made through Christ’s precious blood. Let’s see…
“Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them and said, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant pour out for many for the forgiveness of sins” Matthew 26:27-28
As you know, without receiving forgiveness of sins on this earth we cannot return to the Kingdom of Heaven. Through the love of God who sacrificed Himself on the cross for us imperfect beings we can be redeemed and enter eternal glory!
