WRONG.Luke 22 is about the Lords evening meal--Verses 29-30 assure its a covenant only to those who will sit on thrones. Only part of that little flock were present that night and partook.
Luke 22:29-30 is about a promise Jesus makes to His Apostles – His inner circle. This pertains t TJEM.
The Eucharist as a sacrament is NOT for an exclusive few but for ALL who follow and obey Christ.
John 6:53-57
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. WHOEVER eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. WHOEVER eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
This is why Paul wrote the following to the Corinthian congregation – and NOIT just a select few:
1 Cor. 11: 23-26
FOR I RECEIVED FROM THE LORD WHAT I ALSO PASSED ON TO YOU: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For WHENEVER YOU eat this bread and drink this cup, YOU proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
YOU have chosen to pervert His sacred words in typical pharisaical fashion have changed them to apply to a select few . . .
