I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

… better. Let me just read it for you. When he's having the Lord's Supper in Matthew, he says, I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom. next time I'm going to have this supper with you guys it's going to be a completely different setting next time we drink it will be when I come to you in my Father's kingdom so in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 Paul says we proclaim the Lord's death until he comes now let me read you over in Revelation chapter 19 verse 6 then I heard what sounded like a great multitude like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder shouting Hallelujah, for our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory. For the wedding of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready. By the way, you're the bride. …
… a church, or trying to do good, or being better than the next person. It's by having the blood of the Lamb of God over the doorpost of your life. He says, I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on. In other words, this is the last Passover, people. That's what he's trying to tell his followers. This is the last time we're doing this. We've done it for centuries, but this is the last sacrifice. I'm not going to drink from the fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. You know, we're going to a feast. We're not going to a harp recital. No knock on the harpists that are in the house today. We're going to a feast. We're going to the wedding feast of the Lamb. We're going to a celebration. We're going to a party. We're going to a spread. We're going to something that's going to blow your mind. …
Is it not clear proof that He was certainly Man?Certain heretics sprang up in the early Church who asserted that the body of our Lord was only a phantom—that as God, He was here, but as Man He only exhibited Himself to the outward sense and did not actually exist in flesh and blood. But He thirsted. Now, a spirit has not thirst! A spirit neither eats nor drinks—it is immaterial and knows not the needs that belong to this poor flesh and blood! We may, therefore, rest quite sure that, "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-Begotten of the Father, full of Grace and truth" No better proof could we have of the substantiality of His Manhood than the cry, "I thirst." Herein, at all events, we can sympathize with Him. From the moment when He rose from the Communion Supper, saying, "I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's Kingdom"—from that moment He had had no further refreshment, either of meat or of drink. Yet well He needed drink, for all through that long night in Gethsemane He sweated—we know what kind of sweat—as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground! Such toil as His might well have needed refreshment. Then He was hurried away to Caiaphas and afterwards to Pilate. He had to encounter the accusations of His enemies and a strong bridle He had to put upon Himself, that, like a sheep before her shearers, He might be dumb. There was a strain upon His system such as none of us ever have had to endure, or ever shall have—a strain such as we can never imagine—and yet not one morsel of bread, nor one drop of water crossed those blessed and parched lips! Well might He cry, "I thirst," when, after so many hours of wrestling with the powers of darkness, He was now about to die! …
"I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's Kingdom." Matthew 26:29. SUCH words could hardly have been spoken at such a time by our Lord Jesus Christ without some deep significance. Let us, then, reverently enquire into their meaning. What thoughts were those that stirred in His own breast? What lessons did He convey to His beloved disciples? And, first, does not our Lord here express— I. HIS RENUNCIATION FROM THAT MOMENT OF ALL THE JOYS AND COMFORTS OF LIFE? Putting aside the cup that was filled with the juice of the vine, He said, "I shall henceforth no more drink of this fruit of the vine." Here He bids farewell to social cheer. Whatever little comforts He had enjoyed were now to be quitted. He had never been rich—full often He had not where to lay His head. His clothing had always been that of a simple peasant—"a garment without seam" had sufficed for Him. Scanty the rest He had ever known. Little luxury He had ever enjoyed, but now He does, as it were, solemnly relinquish every creature gratification, "I will henceforth no more drink of fruit of the vine." Not as One who had been satiated with the comforts or surfeited with the pleasures of life did our Lord and Master speak. It is no uncommon thing for the pleasure seekers of the world to feel the strongest aversion to the indulgences for which they once had the keenest relish. The world's joy sours, its sweet honey sickens on the palate, its most fascinating entertainments, by constant repetition, pall the faculty of enjoying them! Our Savior had encountered life in its sterner moods. His main aim was to discharge its duties, not to divert Himself with its amenities. Nor did He put aside that cup out of any ostentation, as though He affected a stoical indifference. We all know that refreshment is needed to recruit the energies of the laborer or the sufferer. Nothing could be less in keeping with our Lord's disposition than a gloomy asceticism. Yet He willingly now, before His disciples, renounces all that there was of this world's good. Taking, then, this wine cup as a symbol, and understanding it to represent earthly cheer, we observe how significantly He puts it aside—He will partake of it no more! We ask the reason why in the presence of so strong a determination, so clear a prediction. …
