Join Pastor Rob in this compelling episode of the Shepnaz Podcast as he explores the profound moment when darkness enveloped the earth during Christ's crucifixion. Delving into Matthew 27:45, we'll unpack what this darkness signifies—the weight of humanity's sin transferred onto the innocent Son of God.
We'll reflect on 2 Corinthians 5:21, highlighting how Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us, enduring the ultimate curse described in Galatians 3:13. Pastor Rob will discuss the deep spiritual implications of this moment, including the mental, physical, and most poignantly, the relational separation from God that Jesus experienced.
As we move to the powerful words of Jesus in Matthew 27:46, we'll hear Him cry out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”—a moment that marked a radical shift in His relationship with the Father. Why did God remain silent in this hour of need? Together, we'll uncover the reasons rooted in God's holiness, justice, and love as revealed in Psalm 22 and Romans 3.
This episode promises to deepen your understanding of the sacrifice Jesus made and what His forsakenness means for us today. Tune in for a poignant discussion that invites you to reflect on the depths of God’s love and the profound plan at work in our salvation.
