Shall I Not Drink the Cup?
In Gethsemane, Peter disobediently cut off the ear of Malchus, one of the soldiers sent to arrest Jesus. After healing him, Jesus asked Peter, “Shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” Alistair Begg considers Jesus’ words. As the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep, Jesus needs no protector; He is the protector—the only substitute who can take the cup of God’s wrath so that all who trust in Him may drink the cup of God’s blessing.
