Jesus Had To Die Totally Alone

[RJ]

On the day of his death:
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?"). 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?"). Matthew 27:46

It appears that when Jesus took the sin of all people upon Himself, a separation came between Him and God that had never before existed. So when Jesus cried out, “Why have you forsaken me?” it was because He was experiencing a brokenness in His relationship with God the Father that they had never before experienced. For God in his perfection, could not and would not take part spiritually in Jesus death. Though he was very God, for the sins of the world, Jesus died alone, very man!

Very much alone!

In this world there are multitudes of lonely people, but the sacrifice of Jesus which made Him be so all alone made unnecessary for any of us to really be alone like that again:


"And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness." Rom 8:10
