21. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed good were it for that man if he had never been born.22. And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and break it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.23. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.25. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. Mark 14:21-25 Jesus has told the disciples that one of them would betray Him. And they were sad all except Judas. At the moment, Jesus disclosed who it was, Satan immediately entered him. Now, as the Passover meal concludes, Jesus takes bread and breaks it, as His body was broken for us, and says, take and eat. After Christ took the cup and after giving thanks, He gave them to drink. This instituting a new feast, a new contract between God and men, where Christ pays for our sins, with His life, His very blood, making atonement, for every believer. And securing eternal life with Him. In Christ's own words, He goes to this death willingly. But He says woe to the man, whose sin will not be excused. Psalm 109:8, Let his days be few, and let another take his office. Let us be faithful followers and not traitors to Jesus who died in our place. Amen.
