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] |
Bible Question: Why do you think the last thing Jesus said before his death was "Why have you forsaken me?". Not trying to start an arguement, just always perplexed by this. Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Isa 59:2 But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. Isa 53:12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors. 1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. I believe from reading Matt. 27:46 that Jesus was experiencing an anguish that cannot be understood completely from a human perspective. For eternity past the Son has known the unity and indescribable love of the Father and Holy Spirit. They have been the three parts of the one Almighty God of all creation knowing completeness, love and fellowship within this unity. Because of God’s great love for the world He gave His Son (John 3:16) to put on humanity and take upon Himself the sin of all humanity. He became our “scapegoat” (Lev 16:21), the ultimate sacrificial lamb. In His perfect humanity He became our sin. For a period of time something happened that had never happened in all eternity. Because of God’s holiness He is the undefiled perfection of goodness, love and creative power. He cannot look upon sin. Yet Jesus in the form of humanity took upon Himself the sin of the entire world, past and present. In that state God the Father could not look upon God the Son! He became divided within Himself! Jesus experienced the inexpressible agony of being torn from the Father that probably made the physical suffering He was enduring pale in comparison. Maybe when we pass from this world into the presents of God to see the face of Jesus we will truly appreciate the love and sacrifice that God has made to redeem our souls. |
