C. J. Mahaney, Living the Cross Centered Life:
Not only will He leave nothing in that cup of wrath for us to drink…but today you and I find ourselves with another cup in our hands. It’s the cup of salvation. From this precious new cup we find ourselves drinking and drinking — drinking consistently, drinking endlessly, drinking eternally…for the cup of salvation is always full and overflowing.…As we watch Jesus pray in agony in Gethsemane, He has every right to turn His teraful eyes toward you and me and shout, “This is your cup. You’re responsible for this. It’s your sin! You drink it!” This cup should rightfully be thrust into my hand and yours. Instead, Jesus freely takes it Himself.
