But I don't think he despaired. I think he did it willingly, for the joy that lay before him, not despairingly. <br /><br />And like us, he was never, ever forsaken.<br /><br />Oh death, where is your sting?Suzanne Marie DeWitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724481265474654929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502171450450034535.post-33229160766208277822010-04-01T08:14:56.864-04:002010-04-01T08:14:56.864-04:00“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translate...“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” <br /><br />In light of what we know about the impeccable nature of the Son of God and His perfect fellowship with the Father, it is difficult to comprehend Christ’s words, yet in them, the meaning of the Cross is laid bare, and we find the reason for which Christ died. The fact that His words are also recorded in the original Hebrew tongue tells us something of their great importance. The author did not want us to misunderstand or to miss a thing! <br /><br />In these words, Jesus is not only crying out to God, but as the consummate teacher, He is also directing His onlookers and all future readers to one of the most important Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament - Psalm 22.<br /><br /> To obtain the salvation of His people, Christ not only suffered the terrifying abandonment of God, but He drank down the bitter cup of God’s wrath and died a bloody death in the place of His people. Only then could divine justice be satisfied, the wrath of God be appeased, and reconciliation be made possible.Ikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595879576794400791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502171450450034535.post-35004873481146434292010-03-31T09:33:41.938-04:002010-03-31T09:33:41.938-04:00now i'm confused. i thought he was forsaken. t...now i'm confused. i thought he was forsaken. that he actually took the wrath for us. that he who knew no sin paid the ultimate price for us. yes, he was quoting psalm 22 but not for show. he was plunged into despair and hell.Pranayama mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720061810198398947noreply@blogger.com
