708. The Lord's words also make it very clear that wine means the same thing as blood: "Jesus took the cup and said, 'This is my blood'" (Matthew 26:[27-28]; Mark 14:[23-24]; Luke 22:[20]). This correlation is also clear from the following statement: "He washes his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes" (Genesis 49:11); this is said of the Lord. "Jehovah Sabaoth will make a feast of fat things for all peoples, a feast of lees or of sweet wine" (Isaiah 25:6); this is said of the sacrament of the Holy Supper that the Lord would establish in the future. Also in Isaiah, "All who are thirsty, go to the waters. Even you who have no money, go, buy, and eat; and even though you have no money, buy wine" (Isaiah 55:1). The fruit of the vine that people will drink anew in the heavenly kingdom (Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18) has no other meaning than the truth that belongs to the new church and heaven. This is why many passages in the Word refer to the church as a vineyard (for example, Isaiah 5:1-2, 4; Matthew 20:1-16), and the Lord calls himself the true vine and calls people who are grafted onto him branches (John 15:1, 5). There are many more passages like these.
