1 | Why did the Savior Dread the Cup? | Matt 26:38 | Rowdy | 133170 | ||
Acknowledging all of your post as being good. When I think about this question, I like to emphasize that this was (as far as we know) Jesus' very first time to be separated from His Father. So it's quite possible (just maybe) He didn't know what to expect upon taking on ALL the sins of the whole world and meeting Satan on his turf. We see in the Bible that Jesus was incredibly close to His Father and talked to Him often and with great intimacy. So I'm thinking he was far more desirous of getting out of this dying business because of this separation from God than his concern about the pain and torture of the cross. I can't think of a scripture to support this conclusion so I'll just label this as my opinion. God bless. Rowdy |

2 | Why did the Savior Dread the Cup? | Matt 26:38 | mark d seyler | 133181 | ||
Hi all, There is another verse I think of relating to this. Mt 20:22 "But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able. 23 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink" These disciples were also (mostly) brutally killed. Which ever way you look at it, Jesus had a most difficult job to do - I can only imagine I would have called on those legion of angels! Love in Christ, Mark |
