John 18:11 - "The cup which my Father gave me, shall I not drink it?" Oh’ our Lord’s eternal love for the Father! Who can fathom it? It is love that words cannot describe; love that precedes all creation. Oh’ that we who have been made joint-heirs with Christ will aspire and yearn to love God so. May we know what it is for God to sacrifice His only begotten for sinful, wicked men. May the groans in the garden of Gethsemane and the cries on Calvary pierce our stony hearts till we perceive that they were not ordinary. Can’t we tell that he did not need to drink the cup? Don’t our consciences prick us when we sin seeing He was crushed and put to grief for our transgressions?
Dear Lord Words fail me. You drank the cup that was my portion; you drank every bit of it. You did to vindicate the great and holy name of your Father and wrapped up in that, your love for me. Hallelujah to the Lamb!
