Subject: What was in the cup symbolically? |
Bible Note: Hi, Steve... Thank you for your comments! Although the death of Christ was integral to the atonement, I've always thought that His statement "It is finished" demonstrated that the Wrath of God had, at that point, been appeased. In other words, by the time of that statement, Christ had suffered the equivalent of an eternity in Hell for each of His own. We, of course, only clearly see the physical suffering; but I think that was nothing compared to the suffering we could not see. In Him, Doc |
