We continue our Lenten series titled, Words from the Cross, focusing on the seven statements made by Jesus on the cross. We look this weekend at the fourth word, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” In speaking these words, Jesus was experiencing the weight of all of our sin on the cross. You and I both are responsible for his need to die on the cross on our behalf. But thanks be to God for his justification and atonement that makes a relationship with the Father possible.
