INTRODUCTION OF THE 4TH CUP
JESUS NEW COVENANT
I would like to start by asking you two questions. One: Can you can give an accurate definition of the phrase: "Lamb of God"? We all
know that this is one of the names used for Jesus, like Messiah, Savior, Son of Man, or Christ. But exactly what is the importance of
the name "Lamb of God"? And why is it important to me as a Catholic? The second question I would like to ask you is: Why the Catholic
Church would offer The Holy Eucharist every day at every Mass throughout the world in over 3000 languages. What knowledge do they have
that would make them feel compelled to do this for thousands of years? In answering this question, we'll see why the Catechism of the
Catholic Church states that "The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life.'" (CC 1324)

JESUS NEW COVENANT
OLD COVENANT & NEW COVENANT
... And we talked about an old covenant in the Bible. Where can we find this old covenant? Jesus gives us a new covenant. Look back at Exodus 24, verse six through eight. Moses takes "the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people, (and these people) answered, "All that the LORD has said, we will heed and do." Then he took the blood (from a sacrificed animal, and he) sprinkled it on the people, saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.'" (Hebrews 24:7-8) This is the old covenant. Blood was shed. Blood is always shed with a covenant. It's sealed with a covenant. This time it's sealed with Jesus' blood - God's blood. This is an everlasting, permanent covenant, and we can partake of it.I would like you to also read Hebrews 8 and Hebrews 9. Because of time restrictions, I could not go over this. I'd like you to read it later. Hebrews 8 says for if that "first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second one." (Hebrews 8:7) So we are living in the second covenant.
