The new covenant is founded on the blood here drunk in figure: “This cup is the new testament [covenant] in My blood” (Luke 22:2020Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. (Luke 22:20)). The old was done away. Blood was required to establish the new. At the same time the covenant itself was not established, but everything was done on God’s part. The blood was not shed to give force to a covenant of judgment like the first; it was shed for those who received Jesus, while waiting for the time when the covenant itself should be established with Israel in grace.
