A Holy Horror
Matt 26
Gethsemane means “oil press,” indicating a garden area among the olive groves on the Mount of Olives where olive oil was prepared.
This was the olive press - they place were Christ would be crushed.
He is approaching death.
“This suggests a dangerous condition known as hematidrosis, the effusion of blood in one’s perspiration.
It can be caused by extreme anguish or physical strain.
Subcutaneous capillaries dilate and burst, mingling blood with sweat.”
John MacArthur
This is what
Why is Christ in such a state of anguish?
Christ bristled at the wrath of God not the cruelty of man.
In the ancient times, often people were executed with a cup of terrible poison, a cup of poison that went in and basically emulsified your insides, tore them into pieces, ate you up from the inside, and you died...
Because that was the method of execution for many people, the Old Testament, the Hebrew prophets, came to use the cup as a metaphor for the wrath of God on human evil.
Tim Keller
When Christ’s speaks of the cup he is referring to the undiluted wrath of God.
“The most violent expression of God’s wrath and justice is seen in the Cross.
If ever a person had room to complain for injustice, it was Jesus.
He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God.
If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross.
Here is where our astonishment should be focused.”
RC Sproul
Christ fully satisfied the Holy Wrath of God on the cross.
The cup you will drink should bring to mind the cup he drank!
