......Lets interpret this. In the redemption wisdom of God in Christ we can say it this way...The punishment that was needful and necessary for us to have peace with God (a covenant of everlasting peace with God established), Jesus met that punishment completely.
......The full punishment (or chastisement) that had to be endured for us to have that covenant of endless peace with God, that punishment was what was in that cup that Jesus was praying to be taken from him. He saw what was in THAT CUP. He knew it was a horrible bitter drink. God had measured in full the full needed punishment that had to be endured for us to have PEACE WITH GOD and he filled that CUP himself with His own calculations. Then God took those calculations, poured them all into that Cup and he gave it to HIS SON to drink and to drink it to the fullest measure, even to the licking of the bowl. Once Christ had fully drank that cup, God for Christ sake would establish FOR US that New Covenant Peace with God. A peace with God that was FAR BETTER, FAR GREATER than the measure of peace Moses and David had with God in the old.
.......Folks the CUP has been drank. The EVERLASTING PEACE OFFERING has been offered. The PEACE is Established. Romans 5:1) Therefore being justified by faith in Jesus Christ and Him crucified and risen from the dead we have peace with God...We are in the everlasting Covenant of Peace in Christ Jesus....Let the REDEEMED of the Lord Say So...Amen....deno.....share freely.
