For this reason we read that Christ's death on the cross confirmed the promises to Abraham (Gal. 3:17; Rom. 15:8; Dan. 9:27; 2 Cor. 1:20), therefore His blood is called the "blood of the new testament" (covenant, Mt. 26:28). It is to remember this that Jesus told us to regularly take the cup of wine, symbolizing his blood, to remind us of these things (see 1 Cor. 11:25): "This cup is the new testament (covenant) in my blood" (Lk. 22:20).
Kwa sababu hii tunsoma kuwa kifo cha Kristo msalabani kilithibitisha alichoahidiwa Abrahamu (Gal. 3:17; Rum 15:8; Dan. 9:27; 2Kor.1:20), hivyo damu yake imeitwa "Damu ya Agano Jipya" (Math. 26:28) Tulikumbuke hili kama Yesu alivyotuambia mara kwa mara tutwae kikombe cha divai, akiashiria mambo yake kutukumbusha mambo haya (Ona 1Kor. 11:25): "Kikombe hiki ni patano (Agano) Jipya katika damu yangu" (Luka. 22:20).
