My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?/ 7 Questions Jesus Asked / Barry Jones

In Week 4 of our series 7 Questions Jesus Asked, Pastor/Elder Barry Jones takes a powerful exploration of Jesus' cry on the cross, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?', delving into the profound depths of Christ's sacrifice. The supernatural darkness that fell during the crucifixion symbolizes God's judgment on sin, reminding us of the weight Jesus bore for our sake. This moment of separation between Father and Son reveals the immense cost of our salvation. Yet, even in this darkest hour, we see a glimmer of hope in Jesus' use of 'my God,' showing His unwavering trust. As we reflect on times when we feel forsaken, Pastor Barry encourages us to pour out our hearts to God, remember His past faithfulness, seek His protection, and persevere in faith. This message reassures us that because of Christ's sacrifice, we as believers will never truly be forsaken by God.
