April 23 – Matthew 27:46
Matthew 27:46 NIV
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud
voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” —which
means, “My God, My God, why have You
forsaken Me?”
Like I said yesterday, we’ll probably never
really understand what He went through, but
this might have been some of the worst. His
Father had abandoned (another translation of
the Greek work)Him. Turned His back, hid His
face from Sin. Jesus, who hated sin, became
sin. Because He loved us. Because He LOVES
us. Because He loves US. Selah.
