So many "cups" to choose from in life, on a daily basis. Don't you agree? Or do you even relate to those words?
Passover? Easter? Resurrection Sunday? What true meaning does the "cup" bear?
Oh, the "cup!"
Oh, the "cup" enjoined to Jesus!
Years ago as a songwriter attracting many other songwriters unto myself, I had the privilege of working for a very short time with a young Christian man who had written freshly, a song titled "The Real Thing." The hook-line in this particular song (as all songwriters relate to as being the essential for a successful song) went like this, "Everybody wants the real thing. No one thrives upon illusion. Everybody wants the real thing, the real thing."
That tune comes to me now, as I ponder the "communion of the cup" that Jesus spoke of within Biblical text. I believe that there is, as every subject creates an opportunity for, much misinterpretation and much Holy Spirit Word based enlightenment, missing from this (if you will) religiously upheld and practiced ceremony within the Church.
So, what is the truth surrounding Jesus and the cup?
The "cup" in scripture:
There are fifty-nine verses in the Bible which speak of a cup.
