I love coffee. For me, there is nothing nicer than a delicious freshly brewed morning espresso. Imagine my surprise one day, after enjoying my morning brew, and later noticing a heart left behind in the dried coffee. Our love was confirmed. Yet this pales into insignificance compared to the love contained in the cup of salvation God offers. Jesus gave his life to enable us to drink this cup of love and eternal life (John 3:16). We remember this when we share the memorial cup each week. “For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:26). God has given us a blessing of love beyond comprehension at a cost beyond imagining. And for this he asks nothing of us, but simply that we accept his gift of love. Drink deeply of God’s cup of salvation, it is the greatest gift of love. “I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.” (Psalms 116:13).
