Forsaken

Share a comment

What did Jesus mean when He cried out, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" This piercing question, spoken from the cross, is one of the most profound and mysterious moments in Scripture. It reflects the depth of Christ's suffering, the inflexible justice of God, and the unfathomable love that led Jesus to become our substitute.

In this message, Stephen Davey unpacks Matthew 27:45-49, exploring the significance of the supernatural darkness that covered the land and the meaning behind Jesus’ anguished cry. You’ll gain insight into the justice of God, the seriousness of sin, and the eternal hope found in Jesus Christ.

This message is a sobering reminder of the cost of our salvation and an invitation to trust in the one who bore the punishment we deserve. If you’ve ever felt abandoned or asked God "why," this episode will encourage you to see Jesus as the ultimate answer to our deepest questions.

Listen now to reflect on the love and sacrifice that changed history forever.
