In order for a world full of sinners to have a Father and a home to return to, God’s Son had to journey far from home. He had to enter the last place the Prince of Life belonged - the grave. But thankfully, when he entered his tomb, he didn’t go alone. He buried all our baggage with him. Today we remember the night when Jesus began to execute the terms of the new covenant and instituted the meal of the new covenant. This new covenant replaced an old one and was fundamentally different from it in every way. While the old covenant was more like a contract, the new covenant is more like a will. One offers rewards in return for work; the other makes unconditional and lasting promises. One will always leave us starving in our relationship with God; the other satisfies the deepest hungers of our soul.
