Christ drank from the cup of Gods wrath so that you could drink from the cup of Gods grace. Although He was sinless, He tasted the sins of both the most refined sinner and the most repulsive one. He had never felt Gods fury; He didnt deserve to. He had never experienced isolation from His Father; the two had been one from before time began. He had never known physical death; He was an immortal being. Yet within a few hours God would unleash His sin-hating wrath on His sinless perfect Son. And as a man, Jesus was afraid. Deathly afraid. And what He did with His fear shows us what to do with ours. He prayed earnestly and persistently. He told His followers, ...Sit here while I go and pray over there. (Matthew 26:36 NKJV) Jesus faced His ultimate fear with honest prayer, and overcame it. And through prayer, you can overcome your fears too
