Covenant Words & Food

Timothy Ward argues that the whole Bible is fundamentally and supremely God's covenant book (Words of Life, IVP 2009, p56).

It seems to me that the Bible has its quintessential use and paradigmatic place (I'm struggling for the right words here!) in the Lord's Day Service of covenant renewal where it calls us to the covenant meal of the Lord's Supper which is the climax of the service, a seal of the covenant and a foretaste of the consummation of the covenant.
