The Cup

Scripture: Mark 14:32-42

“Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the tempter’s power.
Your Redeemer’s conflict see;
Watch with Him one bitter hour.
Turn not from His griefs away;
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.”
—James Montgomery

“Gethsemane is where we go when
there’s no place to go but God.”
—Ken Gire

“In the strange mercy of God, the cup of God’s righteous wrath against the sin of the world is given into the hands,
not of his enemies, but of his beloved Son.
And his Son will drink this cup down to its dregs.”
—Lesslie Newbigin
