Genesis Marks the Spot

The Cups of the Cross: Cana, Gethsemane, and Golgotha - Episode 130


Listen Later

What does it mean that Jesus drank the cup—and said he would not drink again until the kingdom came? What is that mysterious cup that Jesus didn't want to drink? In this final episode on alcohol in Scripture and with the help of Mark Scarlata's book, Wine, Soil, and Salvation, Carey draws together themes of covenant, celebration, and sacrifice as she explores the messianic banquet and the wisdom of wine.   

From the wedding at Cana to the crucifixion, wine serves as a sign of joy, a symbol of suffering, and a seal of the kingdom to come. Carey reflects on the contrast between Jesus and John the Baptist, the priestly significance of wine, and the long-awaited marriage supper of the Lamb.   

Along the way, you'll discover:  

  • How the Second Temple leads up to the New Testament  

  • Why Jesus' first miracle wasn't random  

  • How wine becomes covenantal communication  

  • What the difference between John and Jesus reveals about divine calling  

  • Why the cup Jesus took matters for every believer  

  • And what the final feast will taste like  

  • This is the final vintage in a full-bodied biblical theology series on alcohol.  Come thirsty.
