Luke 22:14–20 There is salvation in the Blood of Jesus

In Jesus our sins are passed over for the Father sees Jesus in us. 

He is the hope of God’s glory! He is the salvation of the world to those who trust in the salvation only He can provide. We have a new and everlasting Covenant in His mercy and grace.

The Lord’s Supper is Instituted in Matthew. There is salvation power in His shed Blood!

Psalm 100:5 says, "For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations." God's goodness in and of itself is cause for gratitude. But the final phrases in this verse especially hit home why we owe God thanks for His magnificent goodness: because His love doesn't depend on our goodness. His love is free. It is forever. And we can rest in His faithfulness. First5 

To be human is about reclaiming childlike delight.
To be human is about regaining what has been lost in the shuffle, when life has been relegated to keeping score and making waves.
To be human is about gardening the soul. Sabbath Moments

Luke 22:14–20

14 When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 

19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. The New King James Version

A reference to the messianic banquet, which was expected to accompany the full arrival of God’s kingdom. Jesus reinterprets the symbolism of the bread consumed to commemorate the Passover meal (Deuteronomy 16:1–8), applying it to His impending death. 

Given for you indicates the vicarious nature of Jesus’ sacrificial death. Jesus instructs His followers to commemorate His crucifixion and all the saving actions He accomplishes in His death. The early church continued this tradition. Jesus states that His imminent death enacts the new covenant centered on forgiveness. Faithlife Study Bible

A comparison of this account with John 13:1–30 suggests that Luke has rearranged the order of events in a topical manner. Luke has the meal first and all the discourse afterward. In John’s account, Judas was gone by the time the meal was shared. Luke’s account does not mention Judas’s departure. In addition, Luke mentions two cups, while the other three Gospels mention only one. A Passover meal had four courses and four cups. Thus it is obvious that all the Gospel writers summarize the events of the meal. The words over the bread and cup recorded by Luke are very similar to those of 1 Corinthians 11:23–26. 22:16 

My body … do this in remembrance: Jesus instituted a new meal which is not only a memorial of His death, but also a fellowship meal of unity. It is a proclamation and a symbol of the believers’ anticipation of Jesus’ return, when all God’s promises will be fulfilled. 

The bread of the Lord’s Supper represents the body of Jesus, offered on behalf of His disciples. This cup is the new covenant: The wine of the Lord’s Supper depicts the giving of life, a sacrifice of blood, which inaugurates the new covenant for those who respond to Jesus’ offer of salvation.

This is the strongest substitutionary image in the Gospel of Luke: Jesus died on the Cross in our place and for our sins. The NKJV Study Bible

The Lord’s supper is a sign or memorial of Christ already come, who by dying delivered us; his death is in special manner set before us in that ordinance, by which we are reminded of it. The breaking of Christ’s body as a sacrifice for us, is therein brought to our remembrance by the breaking of bread. Nothing can be more nourishing and satisfying to the soul, than the doctrine of Christ’s making atonement for sin, and the assurance of an interest in that atonement. Therefore we do this in rememberance of what He did for us, when he died for us; and for a memorial of what we do, in joining ourselves to him in an everlasting covenant. The shedding of Christ’s blood, by which the atonement was made, is represented by the wine in the cup. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

Matthew 26:20 When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve.

Matthew 26:29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

Mark 14:17 In the evening He came with the twelve.

Mark 14:25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
