Also the New Covenant is where God the Christ teaches us to "turn the other cheek" when someone has caused you pain, trouble or whatever. A totally new view from the Old Testament's view that was an "eye for an eye". It was now time to build a new World based on the way of Peace. It was God's plan to let his Son be the final ultimate sacrifice to help save the world from more blood being shed. Interesting that Jesus was afraid & even asked for The cup to "pass from his lips"...he was human at times too. But he trusted God's plan in truth faithfulness. He did take away the sting of death. I always want to remember the empty tomb. And no - his followers did not take the body away. It would have signalled the end, not the beginning.
