Luke 22:41-44:
41And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

And, what was in that cup? Think of it this way…
If I passed a cup to you and asked you to empty all your sins into that cup – every dirty thought, foul word, selfish deed, lie, ect. Everything you’ve ever done would be in that cup.
Now, pass that cup to the billions of people who are alive on the face of the earth and let them put their sins into that cup.
Then go back through time to Adam and Eve and up until the time when the trumpet shall sound and time shall be no more, and let all humanity put their sins into that cup – rape, sodomy, arson, abuse, lasciviousness, drug addiction, abortion, pride, lust, envy demon worship, and every form of slimy, filthy violence.
Now do you have a picture of the cup from which Jesus drank?
