old Covenant
In the Old Testament God made a covenant/ a promise to Moses and his people to
save them from slavery and from the wrath of death the Pharaoh and his people will
suffer. This feast is being celebrated by the Jews every year called “Passover”.
“Passover” is being celebrated to remember the passing of the angel of death to the
houses of Israelites. They painted their houses with the blood of the lamb and stayed
inside eating unleavened bread to remind them that God sustained them in the
Desert.
New Covenant
In the New Testament God renewed this Covenant / this promise to save his people
the “universal Church” to save them from the slavery of sin.
In the New Covenant the blood is the life of Jesus poured out or given for us to save
us from sin.
Through Jesus life laid down in death and taken into Glory, an eternal union is
created between the Father and mankind.
