Cups by Chris Carey

These are my notes from a teaching presented by Chris Carey on Resurrection Sunday 2010. It is an expansion and word study of the word "cups" as in Matthew 26:39... And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt]. Chris Carey Why could Jesus Christ sacrifice his life? John 13:3  Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; JC knew his origin and destination- God. Examples of the word "cup." 1. Psalms 11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup. The cup represents your lot in life, responsibility, commitment, 2. Matthew 26:39 burden, cross 3. John 18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 4. Psalms 23 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. We are sheep, when separated they yell out for each other. 5. Ezekiel 23:31 (read the context) Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand. 6. Jeremiah 25 7. Psalms 16:1-6 and we are his portion. 8. Psalms 116:1-16 cup of salvation- the only free thing. Everything else is work. 9. Mark 10:35-40, 40-43 power goes to peoples head. In the world the higher you get, the less you do. In the body of Christ the higher you are the more lowly  and servile. 10. I Corithians 10: 15-17 taking the cup means taking on both the blessing and cursing of the owner. 11. Matthew 26:26-28, 29, 30
