Jesus Offers the Cup of Salvation for Us ㅡ
“What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.”
(Psalm 116:12-14)
What is required?
Simply the heart’s best and holiest affections for Him who left the glory of the Father and came down to die for a race of rebels.
He left His riches, His majesty, and His high command, and took upon Himself our nature, that He might make a way of escape—to do what? to humiliate you? to degrade you?
No, indeed. To make a way of escape for you from hopeless misery, to elevate you at last to His own right hand in His kingdom.
For this the great, the immense, sacrifice was made. And who can realize this great sacrifice? Who can appreciate it?
None but those who understand the mystery of godliness, who have tasted the powers of the world to come, who have drunk from the cup of salvation that has been presented to us.
This cup of salvation the Lord offers us, while with His own lips He drained, in our stead, the bitter cup which our sins had prepared, and which was apportioned for us to drink.
(Testimonies for the Church Volume 2 589.3)
