The New Covenant
Commentators explain that the cup represents the 'new covenant' between God and humanity. Unlike the old covenant, which was sealed with the blood of animal sacrifices, this new and better covenant is ratified by the blood of Jesus himself. The cup, therefore, serves as a powerful symbol and pledge of this new relationship secured by Christ's ultimate sacrifice.
