The Blood of the Covenant

Jesus instituted two ordinances for the church to observe until he returns: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is central to the life of the church, a symbolic feast that points to the work of Christ and particularly His death on the cross. 

"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body.' Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 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.” Matthew 26:26-29
