Study of Eli Eli lama sabachthani - Matthew 27
Did God really forsake Jesus Christ? No. This study is one of the most misunderstood and difficult verses of scripture in the Word of God. However it will show you how simple this Word really is when you apply the principles that the Word sets forth on the keys to the interpretation.
Hanging on that cross at that crucial hour he gave forth with that great
and tremendous utterance from the depth of his soul. "My God, My God,
this is our hour. This is for what I was spared, this is what I was spared
for. This is what I was kept for, this is why I came in the world. My God,
My God, for this purpose was I spared, for this purpose was I kept."
And the next words that he uttered from the cross were the words "It is
finished." What was finished? Your redemption and mine. That's what
was finished. For God had so loved in Christ Jesus that Christ Jesus had
given his own life. He had laid it down. He who knew no sin had become
sin so that you and I might become the righteousness of God in him. And
so he cried "It is finished!" What is finished? Your redemption and mine
and the next verse of scripture says "And he gave up the ghost." Which
simply means he laid down his life.
