How do we know that Jesus drank the cup of wrath?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly stated that He would drink the cup given to Him by the Father, affirming His acceptance of God's will.

In John 18:11, Jesus states to Peter, 'The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?' This declaration underscores His commitment to fulfill the divine plan of redemption. Throughout scripture, the cup symbolizes God's judgment and wrath, particularly in Revelation 14, which describes the cup of God's indignation. By drinking this cup, Jesus bore the full weight of God's judgment against sin, ensuring that there is no condemnation for those who believe in Him. His willingness to drink this cup is central to the sovereignty of grace, highlighting His role as the substitute for sinners.
