Forsaken I

This sermon meditates on the theological significance of Jesus' cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" as recorded in Matthew 27:46. It explores the historical context of the ninth hour and the Aramaic language used, connecting the event to the prophecy of Psalm 22. The exposition highlights the distinction between the Father and the Son within the Trinity, affirming both the deity and humanity of Christ. By analyzing the word "forsaken," the message reveals that the Father's temporary abandonment of the Son was a necessary act of judgment for the sins of humanity. Ultimately, this substitutionary suffering serves as the foundation for the believer's assurance that God will never leave or forsake them, offering profound comfort and a call to trust in Christ's finished work.
