Matthew 26:27-28
And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks He gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you, for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for the forgiveness of sins."

Jesus had a special dinner with His disciples-twelve of His closest friends who traveled with Him and learned from Him. During the meal, Jesus stood up and held out a cup and gave everyone a drink. Then He said something that was hard for them to understand. He said that the wine in the cup was His blood. He didn't mean they would actually be drinking his blood, but that the wine was a symbol (or picture) of His blood. He wanted them to remember this special night and the promise He was making to them and to all people.
Now let's open egg #3!
