To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Contrition, faith, love — the very soul of our communion this day ! One other word, before putting the elements into j'our hands. " My blood of the new covenant, " says Jesus — of the new covenant. It is well worthy to be noticed that this exjDression is found nowhere in the Old Testament, save in those great words of Jeremiah, ''Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a neio covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. .... This shall be the covenant that I ...will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts ; and wiU be their God, and they shall be my people ; and they shall all know me, from the least to the greatest ; for I will forgive their iniquity, and wiU remember their sin no more. " Thus it has long seemed to me that our Lord very probably had this passage in his eye, — this most precious summary of the promises of the covenant, — when, taking the cup into his hands, he gave it to the disciples, saying, " This is my blood of the new covenant" — "This is the new covenant in my blood, " — the seal and pledge of it, that is to say, with all its exceeding great and precious promises.
