This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many

Mark 14:12-31
The Last Supper:
When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take it; this is my body.
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial:
Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times.  But Peter insisted emphatically(重口氣), “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.
Why?
Jesus had knew that Judas will betray Him. Jesus obey the mission from the Lord and accepted it.
Jesus said this is my body and my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Disciples did not know what it's meaning. We know that Jesus sacrificed his life for many to get the eternal life.
Peter shows many followers braved in mouth but when the suffering come, they falled, frustrated and feared.
Base on our flesh we can do nothing, only on the love of Jesus we can do many things.
How?
Remember that Jesus is die for us. His salvation and love to us, so we can stand before the Lord and become sons of God. How great is the love of Jesus Christ.
