Jesus has and will fulfill all four cups of the Jewish Passover Seder. The cups of Sanctification, Judgment, Redemption, & Praise.

Acts 2:37-47 – Waxer Tipton (One Love Ministries)
After the people received the Word of God through Peter, about 3000 were convicted to repent and be baptized. These members of the first church were in unity and continually devoted themselves to 1. the apostles’ teaching 2. fellowship 3. communion and 4. prayer.

As the disciples waited in the Upper Room as Jesus instructed, they all had unity, prayerfulness & expectancy, but did not have a twelfth disciple.
