Bible Question: Did God truly forsake Jesus? |
Bible Answer: god did not forsake him. this we know from the resurection. as it was with john and the baptism, where jesus received the spirit, so it was at the time on the cross when jesus had to give back the spirit. jesus knew he was the messiah, and in knowing this he akso knew that there was a time to come and a time to go. on the cross, it was his time to go, no doubt a painful experience, and impending death is always a lonley path. mistaking all this for being forsaken was an easy mistake to make. |
