In this lesson, we explored three main ideas from Matthew 26:28, where Jesus speaks of His blood being poured out for the forgiveness of sins. First, “My blood... which is poured out” refers to Jesus’ death. He knew He would die and explained to His disciples that His blood represented His sacrifice. Second, “the covenant” refers to the New Covenant promised by God in the Old Testament, a new relationship with His people made possible through Jesus’ death. Third, the outcome is the “forgiveness of sins,” meaning that through His sacrifice, Jesus paid the debt of our sins.

Only through Jesus' blood can we be released from the guilt of our sins, as He alone provides the ultimate path to forgiveness and redemption.
