drinking from the vine

Habakkuk 2 15 “Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink—
you pour out your wrath and make them drunk,
in order to gaze at their nakedness!
16 You will have your fill of shame instead of glory.
Drink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision!
The cup in the Lord's right hand
will come around to you,
and utter shame will come upon your glory!"

--To me these verses illustrate the cup that Jesus was asking God to remove from Him at the garden while He prayed for strength to obey His Father's will. This cup is not some gentle, little throw away trifle of a piece of plastic, it is an ominous foreboding disgusting threat to Life's existence. Being humble and faithful and for love for us all, Jesus summoned the strength in His weakness to take our cup for us, that we would not have to drink what we so deservedly reap. Now, through Him, we may drink of His righteousness, goodness, holiness, and this is the divine taste of being children of God!
