It is to do the will of God; as it says in Psalm 40.8. "I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart."
And it is confirmed in the body, or the people of Jesus; as it says in Hebrews 10.16. "This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them."

What changes did Jesus make from the passover to the last supper?
A comparison of John 13:21-30 with Matthew 26:20-29 shows that Judas must have left the room before Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper. This is logical, as Jesus would hardly have made a 'covenant for a kingdom' with his betrayer. (Luke 22:29)

What was meant when Jesus instituted the New Covenant at the Last Supper?
If you view the New Covenant as a legal document proposing a law then that law has to take effect from a certain date. Jesus did this when He said at the Last Supper "this cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Luke Ch.22) So the New Covenant came into effect when the cup was poured out at the Last Supper. The new covenant is not a mere renewal of the earlier covenant that the Israelites broke. No, indeed! For the apostle Paul writes to the Christians at Rome, saying: "You are not under law but under undeserved kindness." (Romans 6:14) It is really a new covenant, and it was to be expected that it would be a better one, for the Almighty God Jehovah is able to improve matters with regard to those whom he admits into the new covenant. For one thing, he raised up a better mediator, or go-between, in establishing the new covenant. This Mediator was no imperfect, sin-infected man like the prophet Moses. 8 The Law covenant mediated by means of the prophet Moses was good in itself. However, that covenant provided for the sacrifice of animals whose blood could never wash away human sins. So for Jehovah God to set up a better covenant, there would have to be a better mediator with a better sacrifice. This all-necessary Mediator proved to be Jesus Christ. Pointing out the superiority of this Mediator as compared to the prophet Moses, the Bible gives us the following explanation: "But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises. . . . In his saying 'a new covenant' he has made the former one obsolete."-Hebrews 8:6, 13. --Excerpt from "Insight on the Scriptures"
Does Judaism acknowledge the Last Supper?
Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as special; therefore they would not be concerned with a Last Supper. Some Jewish people have heard of this last meal in Jerusalem and acknowledge that it happened, but would acknowledge it only as a historical event and would excise the theological claims made there.
Why were Jesus and his Apostles gathered at the Last Supper?
According to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus was crucified the day after the Passover feast. Since Jesus and the disciples were themselves Jews, they sat down to a Passover feast on the evening before his crucifixion; this was the Last Supper.According to John's Gospel, Jesus was actually crucified on the day of the Passover feast, so John does not report the Last Supper. Instead, this Gospel reports Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.AnswerThe Passover meal was significant to the Jews because of their covenant with God. A covenant means a solemn and binding agreement. In the Old Testament God made several covenants with humanity: the covenant of Abraham as an example, where God promised him, despite his advancing years, that he would be the father of a whole nation. But the Passover was the great covenant between God, Moses and the israelites, as they made their escape from slavery in Egypt. The Passing Over (Pass-over) of a disease that caused the Egyptian's first born children to perish, did not affect the Jews at all. Therefore they saw this deliverance as God's great covenant between them (his 'chosen' people) and himself. That he would be their God and Saviour, and one day, in a New Covenant, would send the Messiah - who would save all people for all time. However, in the Last Supper, Jesus makes it very clear just what is happening; instead of commemorating God's old covenant, he is here instituting God's promised New Covenant."And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."[Luke 22 19-21]Thus, in the Last Supper, Jesus is instituting God's New Covenant between, not just the jews, but all people and God. In his death, resurrection and ascension, the new covenant was sealed - a new covenant which superceded the old one.Therefore for Christians, the last Supper is a very significant event that underlines just who Jesus is - the promised Messiah and Saviour of all, and, because of this, this scene is re-enacted at the mass or Communion service as Jesus commanded - in rememberance of him.In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) the Last Supper meal is described in detail, with the focus being placed on the New Covenant between God and humanity. However, in John's Gospel, focus lies elsewhere, as John was less concerned with the Jewish Covenant, and more concerned with the real nature of Jesus - so much that he contributes several chapters of his book to the last hours of Jesus life on earth whereas the other synoptics deal with the matter in a few verses. In John, the Last Supper dwells more on Jesus washing his disciples' feet - but is there nevertheless:"The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him."... When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place.... {When questioned about his betrayer}, Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him."What you are about to do, do quickly," Jesus told him, but no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.[John 13: 2-5, 12, 26-28]
When was the first blood covenant made in the Bible?
Genesis 3:22Another Answer:The Edenic Covenant with Adam in the Garden of Eden - sometimes called the "Covenant of Works" and is the first covenant that God made directly with man (Genesis 2:16-17). Disobeying this covenant as noted in Hosea 6:7, had its negatives of toiling the ground all the days of human life. The Scripture does not mention a blood sacrifice as humans were probably vegetarian then.But God did not give up on mankind, and shortly after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, God made another covenant with Adam & Eve of redemption (see Genesis 3:14-24) pointing to the future sacrifice of Jesus. There have been others afterwards, ending with the New Covenant that was only instituted at the Last Supper with the symbolic cup of wine representing Christ's blood. It will be fully implemented during the Millennial Reign.All Covenants between God and mankind are contracts of marriage. The Old Covenant ended when Jesus died - effectively the death of the groom.
