Two Cups--Part 2

The Cup of Redemption

“And when He had taken the cup, and giving thanks, He gave it

to them; and they all drank from it.

And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which

is poured out for many.”  Mark 14:23,24

"And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten and 

said, 'This cup which is poured out for you; do this in remembrance

of Me.'”  Luke 22:20

Jesus drinks the cup of sorrow as He dies on the cross and gives to us: 

the cup of blessing, 

the cup of redemption, 

the cup of the New Covenant, 

the cup of Life.

Papa, When I consider the two cups and how there would be no cup

of redemption if Jesus had not willingly drunk from the cup of sorrow,

I stand amazed and speechless by your love for me.
