What Does Matthew 26:29 Mean?
Jesus closes the supper with a vow and a promise. The next cup He shares with His own will be in the kingdom of His Father -- the feast beyond the cross, when fellowship is unbroken and everything is made new.
He looks through death to a table on the other side of it. The Supper is not only a memory but an appointment: every sharing of the cup points forward to that day. Jesus is certain of the morning even as He walks into the night, and He carries the hope of His friends with Him.
