The third cup was traditionally taken after the supper was eaten. It is represented by the third “I will” statement of God recorded in Exodus 6:6: “I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.”
This is the cup of redemption. I am convinced this cup is also the symbolic cup to which Christ referred only an hour or so later in the garden of Gethsemane when He asked God to “take this cup from me” (Luke 22:42). This was a cup of which He could partake only with outstretched arms upon the cross.
