It is finished!
Read Matthew 27:45-56 and journal your thoughts
In our culture there seems to be some debate about when Jesus says “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me”, what is Jesus saying here? I’ve heard dramatic preachers who talk about how in this verse Jesus looks up in to heaven and sees the Father turn his head aside because God is refusing even look at Jesus.
To help us understand what Jesus is saying let’s read Psalm 22:1. Now in their culture, when a Rabbi would quote Scripture, they weren’t just randomly dropping a verse. Instead they would quote a single verse to make reference to the whole thing. In this moment, Jesus refers to a Psalm to make the whole situation make sense.
Today read Psalm 22 and mediate on how what Jesus is doing relates
