Passover of the Messiah,
The four cups
The Passover lamb
The missing cup
Jesus’ fourth cup (after he drinks from the sponge full of wine, he exclaims, “It is finished) This New Passover is the Eucharistic celebration, the Mass.
When we eat the flesh of the new Passover lamb, Jesus Christ Himself, and drink His blood, it is this new covenant that brings about the new exodus —not from Egyptian slavery, but from the slavery of sin — which then takes us into the very heart of the Promised Land.
