The old covenant was written in stone, but the new covenant is written on our hearts, made possible only by faith in Christ, who shed His own blood to atone for the sins of the world. Luke 22:20 says, "After supper, [Jesus] took another cup of wine and said, 'This wine is the token of God's new covenant to save you – an agreement sealed with the blood I will pour out for you.'"
Now that we are under the new covenant, we are not bound by the law. We are now given the opportunity to receive salvation as a free gift, not as a reward for any of our good works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The new convenant is the sacrifice that he made for us on our behalf. If we believe in him and accept him and repent of our sin, we will inherit eternal life with him.

It is that eating his body and drinking his blood will give eternal life through communion. Read John.
It means nothing to me except that it is a sad story being give serious consideration for reasons that are also sad.

It is the covenant of his blood. It is His promise that even if we are lost, like a sheep in the wilderness, we can turn to Him with all our heart he will lead us out of the darkness and into the light. Through his blood our failures and mistakes can be healed, through his blood we can receive forgiveness and mercy, through his blood eternity with God can be ours.

New Covenant- no longer depend on the law for righteousness, but now have "Jesus in you, the hope of glory".

Jesus and his redemption and his Blood shed for the whole world and all the sins of the world
A new and living way, not of dead works

Salvation through Him, He is the ONE High Priest, we need, forgiving our sins, past, present and future. No more need to sacrifice animals, for our New Covenant with Him is salvation through Him- He sacrificed HIMSELF, by His grace and mercy- We are no longer under the Law but under HIS GRACE! -When you confess your sins to Him and repent- trusting Him- you are saved! (See Romans 10)
Praise be to HIM!

It speaks of mankind killing him again if he should ever return to earth again. We did it once and we will do it again. It means to me that now his Crucifixion would be pay per view or something and all of us can enjoy seeing the lamb fulfill his phony prophecy.

being saved by the blood when he died for our sins that is why when we pray we have to go through him to speak to the Lord. We have the opportunity to have our sins forgiven.
