Our Forsaken Savior
from 2 Pillars Church - Sermon Audio Hosted by Todd Bumgarner
The cross is uncomfortable. We’d rather look ahead to Jesus’ resurrection and victory than dwell on his suffering and abandonment. But in Matthew’s account of the crucifixion, Jesus is forsaken by his disciples, rejected by his people, mocked by the world’s powers, and finally cries out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Yet even the mockery reveals profound truth: Jesus is the crucified King, the Son of God, and the Savior who refused to save himself so that he could save us. Jesus was forsaken by all, including God, so that all who trust in Him by faith would never be forsaken by God.
