Pietà Lenten Series–Antony Jukes–Not My Will But Yours (Fr Antony Jukes says that Jesus speaks about the cup or the chalice that he must drink, a cup given to him by God, the Father. Jesus is without sin (Heb 4:15), and yet, he seems to be given this cup to drink. Why? When Jesus takes that image of the cup upon himself, he is reassuring us that whatever punishment we as humans deserve or think we deserve for our sins, whatever punishment others deserve, or whatever punishment we think others might deserve for their sins, Jesus is taking that punishment upon himself, reassuring us that the God of love and compassion has no desire to reject us. Our prayer this week can be: Lord, help me to recognise your infinite love and mercy.)
