Luke 22:42 (NIV)
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
It is our Father’s will that Jesus would take our cup for His own. This allows us to drink from His cup of the blessings of heaven. He drank from the cup of our death to allow us to drink from the cup of His life.
Jesus willingly took our cup, laying down His life for us. We willingly take His cup, laying down our life for His. This is the choosing between Christ and His bride that brings the union of heaven and earth. There is no greater love than the laying down of one’s life for another. It is love that calls and love that answers. It is love that prevails.
