The Jewish people have 4 cups of wine with their Passover Seder each year. These 4 cups represent the 4 promises God made to the children of Israel when He delivered them out of Egypt, some 3,400 years ago. The 4 cups, the cup of sanctification, the cup of deliverance, the cup of redemption and the cup of praise are all pictures, types and shadows of the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
