  5. Not to be a know-it-all, but His first and only time of separation from His Father was in the cup.

    Matthew 27: 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

    That was way more than anything else in the cup. He had never experienced a separation from the Father before then, and never since.

  6. Because the Father can not be in the presence of sin, and Jesus bore ALL of the sin, past, present and future, ALL of it.

    So He was without the Father for the first and only time.

  7. Jesus said “It is finished” on the cross. He drank the cup that contained God’s wrath for all mankind’s sins.

    Jesus experienced it for us all and the new covenant between man and God THROUGH Jesus was created because of Christ’s sacrifice.

  8. You are not wrong for what you said, Claudia, but I am under the impression that the “cup” is the metaphorical one Jesus refers to at the Garden of Gethsemane during His prayer.

    That IS the question asked.

    To make it another “cup” (Which is not wrong if considered all by itself) seems to veer away from the question at hand – what was in the cup He was referring to in His prayer at the Garden.

    Which is the only time Jesus said: “Let this cup pass from me”

    Love you, Claudia, but I stand by this. I think it makes all the difference to understand this point for what it is.

  9. Dadof4, I totally agree with you. He wasn’t speaking of a real cup, but just what he knew what was going to go through to accomplish his fulfillment of the law.

  11. Dadof4: “ Matthew 27: 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

    Jesus was reciting Psalm 22:1. He was never “separated from the father”

  12. The “cup” Jesus had a struggle over was His sacrifice in the flesh as a man. Yes, He is God but to suffer the torment, abuse and pain leading to death He was about to experience to make man’s redemption possible was overwhelming. This had to be done in the flesh as a man to deliver mankind which lives in the flesh. So that man can know the dedication and love of God as personally as possible – Immanuel “God with us” What an awesome God we serve.

  14. Thank you Jesus for submitting to God’s will in the garden. Thank you for resisting the provocation of the Pharisees and the taunting of the thieves to come down off the cross and to prove your divinity. Thank you for staying put and shedding your blood on my behalf. I am eternally grateful.
