NT in blood and book

The close connection between Scripture and the Lord’s Supper is suggested by the fact that we refer to the Old and New “Testaments” of the Bible and the cup of the New “Testament” in Jesus’ blood (Luke 22:20, KJV).

Theologically, Bible and Supper function as covenant document or constitution and seal or ratification. The Bible is the announcement of the covenant, the Supper its reception and celebration.
