What does the Bible say about the cup Jesus drank in Gethsemane?

Answered in 1 source

The cup represents the wrath of God and the sins of God's elect that Jesus took upon Himself.

In Gethsemane, Jesus faced the cup that the Father had given Him, which symbolizes the enormous weight of sin and the righteous wrath of God against sin. As documented in Matthew 26, Jesus expressed His anguish and prayed earnestly to His Father, asking if it might be possible for the cup to pass from Him. However, He ultimately submitted to the Father's will, demonstrating His commitment to fulfill the divine plan for salvation. This cup, filled with the sins of His people, was integral to the fulfillment of prophecy and the establishment of the covenant of grace.
