The End of an Era
Commentators explain that when Jesus declared He would not drink from the fruit of the vine, He was signaling the end of an era. This was the final Passover. As Matthew Henry notes, the old ceremonial law was being set aside because its purpose—to point to Christ, the 'substance'—was now fulfilled. This moment marks a deliberate transition from the Old Covenant ordinance to the New Covenant reality.
