(2 Pet. 1: 11, NW) So with deep appreciation those privileged to drink the cup bless God for it. For it is a privilege to vindicate him by death with Christ and afterward to be resurrected by Him to immortal life in Christ's kingdom. Since Christ's death validates the new covenant and he set the example in death, his disciples drink the cup in remembrance of him. W 1/15
