There was a giant cup of God’s wrath with enough in it for all his people. And Christ drank it all. There’s not a drop left.
There was a gun with enough ammunition to take out all of us. He took every bullet. There’s not one left. The clip is empty.
There was a whip with enough throngs to touch us all. He took the whip until it wore out and broke. It disintegrated against his back.
There was the cup; hell was in it; the Savior drank it—not a sip, and then a pause; not a draught, and then a ceasing; but He drained it till there is not a dreg left for any of His people! The great ten-thronged whip of the law was worn out upon His back; there is no lash left with which to smite one for whom Jesus died! The great bombardment of God’s justice has exhausted all its ammunition; there is nothing left to be hurled against a child of God!
