1 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | EdB | 41093 | ||
Richlou Let me try it from this perspective. You said "If Jesus would have not been really forsaken, His cry to His Father would have become inconsistent with His real feeling and would have been in vain." However if what your saying is true then is Jesus not questioning God? Should he not just called out My God My God come back? Instead Jesus asked why. Your saying an all knowing God wasn't expecting for the Father to desert Him and he expressed his surprise, his concern, his desire for renewed fellowship with this question. I think not, especially in the light he had Psalm 22 which foretold this very event. No Jesus would never question God. EdB |

Richlou Whether you call it a distortion or not, certain facts have to be grasped to fully appreciate the Trinity. There is way to much emphasis on the suffering of Christ in his humanity (be assured I’m not saying Jesus wasn’t human) and not enough on His being a propitiation for our sin. Jesus bought our freedom with His blood, blood released in anguish, but it is the blood not the anguish that should be our focus. Think of communion Jesus never mentioned, remember my anguish, but rather remember my blood poured out for you in the new covenant. The question remains did Christ question God or not? I say definitely not! Therefore if Jesus spoke these words for any other reason than to point us to Psalm 22 they would have been spoken in vain. Which I feel is equally impossible. That is my position and unless you can convince me Jesus was questioning God I would say we don’t have much left to thrash. Be Blessed and Be a Blessing EdB |
