“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

Do you hear Jesus crying from the cross? It is midnight in the middle of the day as God the Father turns His back on His own Son, and that cry pierces those shadows.

On this side of Calvary, we know the answer to the question posed in this verse. Christ became sin for us. According to II Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

• He was forsaken, so you would never have to be forsaken.
• He took your death so you could take His life.
• He took your darkness so you could take His light.
• He took your sin so you could take His salvation.
• He took your Hell so you could take His Heaven.

“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” On the authority of the Word of God, no believer will ever have to utter those words. As Hebrews 13:5 states, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Christ was forsaken by the Father for our sins so we could be reconciled to God, never to be separated from Him again.
