THE CUP THAT JESUS DRANK Scriptural Text: Luke 22:39-48 Introduction: A rapid chain of events happened this Thursday night before the crucifixion.

Christ's substitutionary atonement — our insults have fallen on him.

Centuries after Joseph, the children of Israel find themselves brutally oppressed by the Egyptians, and they cry out to God. He hears them, and sends Moses to carry God's demand to "let my people go!" Pharoah refuses, enduring many plagues until at last God promises the death of all Egypt's firstborn.

Meekness. Thanks Robin for leading us in some songs – Robin is a blessing in many ways. One of those ways is that he written a number of songs. We have sung a few of them out here. They are all based very closely on passages from the Bible. One that he did was taken from Psalm 18 (or maybe 2 Samuel 22…

We all get to feeling like our sins have piled up and crushed us down. We need to know that Christ's death on the cross paid our debt to God.
