What’s In The Cup?
By Tammy Lacock
Warren Litzman discusses exactly what was in the cup Jesus drank in the Garden of Gethsemane of the night before His death.
We are in the cup. Each one of us is in that cup. Everything that has to do with our lineage since Adam is in that cup. Everything that makes us a human being is in that cup. The cup consisted of every sin, every transgression — past, present and future — no matter by whom, was in that cup. The sin of Adam is in the cup. The sin of Abraham is in the cup. The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah is in the cup. The sin of Hitler is in the cup. The sin of Saddam Hussein is in the cup. Every sin is in that cup. No exceptions. When Jesus drank of the cup, every single one of our sins and transgressions were poured into His body.
When all of our sin went into His body, it pushed out life. Death went into His body and pushed out life. Christ knew that His time had come to eradicate sin and death once and for all. The end of sin is death, Christ’s death. Life of the flesh is in the blood of Christ. He paid the penalty for our sin, and now we are completely freed from all of it by faith in Christ.
When He died, we died, and all of our sins died, too. Buried and dead. Yet by God’s Grace, when Christ arose from death, as believers we arose, too, to a brand-new life in Him. We have been made anew. By Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection at the Cross, we went from a God-breathed Adamic living soul to a quickened spirit, joined to Christ making us one Spirit in Him. He is our new identity. We are now complete in Him and free to live exactly who God created us to be.
This is why Christ’s death on the cross is the ultimate sacrifice, the gift of all gifts. He paid for every single penalty, and he paid in full.
