Exodus 26:31-27:19; Psalm 72:1-20; Acts 15:22-35
For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup … surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drain and drink down. Ps. 75:8
The imagery of a cup occurs several times in Scripture. Jeremiah refers to the “wine cup of fury” as an indication of God’s judgment on a number of nations. John speaks of the “wine of the wrath of God” and “the cup of His indignation” (Rev. 14:10). We can be so thankful that the Lord Jesus submitted to the will of the Father will, but Yours, be done” (Luke 22:42). —Gary McBride
Death and the curse were in our cup,
O Christ, ‘twas full for Thee!
But Thou hast drained the last dark drop;
‘Tis empty now for me. —A. R. Cousin
