This lesson begins our discussion of the Lord's second three hours on the cross (from noon to 3:00 p.m., or was called the sixth to ninth hours). This time frame began with an eerie, mysterious darkness over the land, and an intense darkness over the Lord Himself as He was separated, for the first and only time ever, from fellowship with the Father.
What were God's reasons for the darkness that shrouded the suffering of His Son from human eyes for three hours?
If Jesus is Deity (and He is), then why would He ask why God had forsaken Him (His fourth saying from the cross)? Did He not know? Yes, He knew! In fact, His knowledge of that mandatory separation, when He literally became the curse of sin for us, was the whole reason for His agony in Gethsemane! Also, the preincarnate Christ answered His own question in the prophetic preview of His cross-work recorded in Psalm 22. Actually, by asking the question, He fulfilled yet one more Messianic prophecy!
One further point of interest: Jesus asked the question so the world would know He paid the FULL wages of death for our sin, which includes not only physical death, but also spiritual deathm (separation from God)!
Deep, theological lesson made easy to understand and to deepen faith and appreciation for "What Jesus Did for YOU" . . . and for me. Critical lesson for every believer; convicting lesson to use evangelistically with every non-believer.
