What does it mean that Jesus drank the cup of God's wrath?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus drinking the cup symbolizes His acceptance of God's wrath against sin, fulfilling His role as the substitute for His people.

In His time in the garden, Jesus anticipates the suffering He will endure on the cross, symbolized by His reference to drinking from the cup. This cup represents the full wrath of God against sin, which He willingly embraced to secure the salvation of His people. By stating that He drank of this cup dry, as mentioned in the sermon, it conveys the completeness of His sacrifice. He faced judgment on behalf of those He came to redeem, fulfilling the requirement of justice while extending mercy, thus solidifying the understanding that salvation is entirely by grace through faith in Christ.
