Mark 15:34: God’s judgment falls on Jesus and out of that darkness, a scream of agony. Jesus has never in all of eternity known separation from His Father.
His Father’s face turned away, the Son, forsaken.
Nobody alive can say that has happened to them.
"MY God!" – hear that cry of agony and trust. The scream of the forsaken, the scream of the damned.
Look at Jesus on the cross, draining that dreaded cup for us. His suffering is not that of the unjust, nor a martyr’s death, nor is it pointless agony and distress.
In our place…..
