AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, "ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" [Ps 22:1] |
Subject: WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? |
Bible Note: Greetings Searcher, Yes, in a sense God did forsake Him. When the sins of the world were laid upon Him during the hours of darkness He was alienated from God, just as sin in our lives alienates us from God. God saves us from our sin when we call on Him to do so. Jesus suffered in silence, bearing the weight Himself. He did not call out to Him until the cry in verse 46. Once He made that cry the Father came to Him and took away His burden. prayon |
