Josh Tucker
Pastor
St. Matthew's
Lutheran Church
“Then [Jesus] took a cup, and
after giving thanks he gave it to them,
saying, “Drink from it, all of vou; for
this is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many for the
forgiveness. of sins.” (Matthew
26:27-28)
It seems to me that so much of the
focus in the world today is on what’s
broker: The economy is broken: The
justice system is broken. Our system
of legislation is broken. And, for
some, the way of the church is often
viewed as broken. As God’s people,
we can acknowledge that, because of
sin, we are broken. We are broken
and we are in need of a Savior; we are
in need of God’s redemptive grace,
love and forgiveness.
Surely, during this moment
recorded in Matthew’s gospel, when
Jesus gathered with his disciples for
the last time around the table at
Passover, there were some thoughts
among the disciples of all that was
broken at that time and place. After
all, Jesus had been warning his disci-
ples that the end was near and ‘he
would be with them only a little
while longer. The chief priests and
elders were together conspiring with
the high priest, Caiaphas, in a plot to
crucify Jesus. And, Judas had already
agreed to hand Jesus over to the offi-
cials in a moment of betrayal. Indeed,
there was a lot that was broken that
could have been discussed around
that Passover table. ,
But, instead of focusing on what
was broken in the world, Jesus em-
bodies the broken by giving up him-
self on the cross in love for you and
for me. Jesus embodies the broken in
this scene by taking bread and wine

and giving it for all for the forgive-
ness of sin. Jesus’ focus is not on
what’s broken, but on what’s unend-
ing: God’s covenant.
For in Jesus Christ, God has made
a new everlasting covenant with his
people - a continuous promise that is
built upon his love for us. Such love
that he would reach out to a broken
world by sending his only Son to
save us. That, each and every time we
gather around the Lord’s Table, we
gather as a covenant people along
with God’s people everywhere and
all the saints to remember and focus
‘on how the broken might be made
whole again, in Christ.
And so, in and through this heav-
enly meal, and in our Christian walk
may we forever experience God’s
love, grace and forgiveness through
the promise of the covenant. May our
focus as Christians be not on the bro-
ken in the world but on the one thing
that that is and always will be whole:
God’s love. May we have faith in the
knowledge that in his covenant God
chooses us who were once broken,
and makes us new to be his people
sharing the promise of the covenant
with everyone.
