The Dark Loneliness Of Sin

Matthew 27:45-50

From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' (which means 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'). When some of those standing there heard this, they said, 'He's calling Elijah.' Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, 'Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him.' And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. (NIVUK)

The execution commenced at 9 o'clock in the morning. By mid-day, when the sun should have been burning down, the sky went dark. An eerie silence settled over the cross as the light refused to shine. The ridicule had stopped and the onlookers had exhausted their arrogant insults. It was the lone voice of Jesus which pierced the gloom with the chilling question to His Father, as the Old Testament prophecy exactly fitted His agony of body, mind and spirit (Psalm 22:1).
