The Cup of Joy - the Kiddush


< Go Back

The Kiddush is the wine or the grape juice.  In Hebrew it means to make holy.  We’re made holy by the blood of the lamb.   The wine or grape juice is a symbol of joy, and it is to remind you that when you are serving God through the blood of Jesus Christ your joy is to be overflowing.

So the Father fills the glass to the top.  He takes not just a sip, but at least two drinks from the cup, because it’s to remind him and all who drink from the cup, that God has not given us a taste of joy, but he wants us to be filled and satisfied with joy.

Then the Father, the husband or the man passes I to his friends and family.  You can have a fountain that pours cups for everyone.  Or you can use cups or glasses for each person.
