As Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?” He revealed the full weight of bearing humanity’s sin and enduring separation from the Father. The supernatural darkness reflected God’s judgment and sorrow over sin, paralleling the plague of darkness before Passover. Jesus became our substitute, experiencing God’s wrath so we wouldn’t have to. This cry from the cross demonstrates both God’s inflexible justice and His boundless mercy. Because Jesus was forsaken, all who trust in Him are promised they will never be. The invitation to accept Him remains open—while there is still time.
