Why This Matters

Jeremiah declared that God would one day make a new covenant—not like the one at Sinai that the people broke. At the Last Supper, Jesus took the cup and said, 'This is the new covenant in my blood.' The old covenant was written on stone tablets; the new covenant is sealed with Jesus' own blood and written on human hearts. Jeremiah's hope became reality at a table in Jerusalem.

Reflection

Lord, the kingdom You promised in Jeremiah 31:31 is breaking in through Luke 22:20. Make me a faithful citizen of that kingdom today.
