This fulfilled Jeremiah’s prophecy that God Jehovah would establish the new covenant. Jesus emphasized the Passover wine as the new covenant, expressing His deep desire to share the Passover with His disciples before His suffering ([[Suffering on the Cross|the Crucifixion]]). Thus, the New Covenant Passover is the heart of the New Covenant.

Paul warned that those who violate the new covenant would face a greater punishment than those who transgressed the [[Law of Moses]].
