Jesus Drank from the Cup of a Prostitute

First of all, I apologize to any readers of mine that go to a church that follow the liturgical calendar.  I know that the subject matter lately has been much more appropriate for Lent, not finishing up the Easter season.

That being said...remember in the Garden of Gethsemene when Jesus prayed, "Father take this cup from me"?  I suppose I've always thought of the cup as the cup of suffering, as in the physical suffering of the cross.  And certainly that was horrible enough and was part of it.  But Jesus was about to take the sin of the World upon him, and along with it, God's judgment.

I came across a passage in Ezekiel describing God's judgment on Jerusalem and Samaria for turning to Egypt for help and loving Egypt's ways more than they loved God and his ways.  This could be seen as the judgment that would be on any of us for loving the world more than God, so justly, the description of this judgment could apply to any sinner.

"'You have gone the way of your sister, therefore I will give her cup into your hand.'  Thus says the Lord God: 'You shall drink your sister's cup that is deep and large; you shall be laughed at and held in derision, for it contains much; you will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow.  A cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria; you shall drink it and drain it out.'"  (Ezekiel 23:31-34)

To imagine this being said to Jesus, to imagine the tone of the Father, the disgust in his voice.  He should be disgusted with us, not the spotless lamb.  To think of Jesus bearing the turning away of the Father is one thing.  To imagine that the Father turned away in disgust... I can hardly bear the thought.
