Today we read Mark 15. In verse 34, Jesus on the cross curiously exclaims, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?” Quoting Psalm 22 from the Old Testament, Jesus means that, by taking all the sins of the world upon Himself on the cross, He is during those hours actually separated from God the Father. This is even more painful for Him than the physical pain of the crucifixion. Jesus did this *for you*, so that your sins will never separate *you* from the Father. Hallelujah!
