“Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah.
Zechariah 12:2
THE CUP OF CALVARY
“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” As Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, his first request is for his father to “take this cup of suffering away from me” Luke 22:42 (ESV)
