Gospel of Matthew - Matthew 27:45-66 - "And They Crucified Him"

Jesus drinks the cup of wrath of God poured out on sin. As Jesus takes the punishment for our sins, He cries, "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" In those awful moments, as evil men were allowed to do whatever they wanted to Jesus, our Lord expressed His feelings of abandonment. God placed the sins of the world on His Son, and Jesus for a time felt the desolation of being unconscious of His Father’s presence. It was at this time that “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” - 2 Corinthians 5:21.
