Weekly Reflection on It IsWell with My Soul Jesus’ promise to give his followers the kingdom by way of a new covenant means “making them the people of the Kingdom of God or the people of God who are to share his rule over the world (cf. also Lk. 12:32; Rev. 3:20–21)”. Thus, the culmination of his preaching of the kingdom of God is his Last Supper promise about his death being the atoning and covenant-establishing sacrifice through which the kingdom is to become a reality. The implication is that only those who take advantage of his sacrificial death share in the kingdom and its benefits.
