“Can you drink the cup I'm going to drink?”

In the question Jesus asks that we’re exploring this week, “Can you drink the cup I’m going to drink?”, we see the contrast between what was expected of Jesus and what he will actually go on to do, foretelling how ultimately Jesus came to serve instead of be served, giving his life as a ransom for many.
