Matthew 26: 27-28 “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”

His blood – poured out – that many – all who drink are forgiven. All and many. All the Israelites who applied the blood to the doorposts were saved from Gods wrath, and many firstborn were spared. Not so in Egypt. Death and sorrow everywhere. No protection. Only loss.

I drink of you, Lord Jesus. My soul, my life is covered by your blood, your forgiveness. I am reconciled to God. My heart rejoices with gratefulness and awe at what you have done. At the same time, I grieve for those without Jesus, and without hope. May I invite them to come, drink, and live! AMEN
