Drink the cup

So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” (John 18:11 ESV)

This passage shows Jesus' complete and total trust in the Father and that He knows what is best.  How many times do we find ourselves questioning God because of circumstances that we dislike?  Jesus is obedient all the way to the cross and beyond. We as followers of Jesus, must learn to trust deep and wide, without second guessing, that whatever is in the cup that the Father has put in front of us, is what is best.  We must trust Him as a little child trusts their parent, like Jesus trusts the Father.
