Consider the wighty words of Mark 15.34:
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Here are some thoughts:
“Come down from that Cross!” the scorn they gave
Missing the point– Jesus came to save
Immanuel hangs in open shame
Counting the cost, Jesus bears my blame
Abandoned now, he does it alone
“My God, My God!” he cries, not let’ng go
Eternal closeness is now removed
For here, in my place, condemned he stood
Amazing love flowing from that place
Jesus Christ, bearing wrath in my place
Now the truth of Calvary, I bring
Tuned by grace, my heart will ever sing:
Christ was forsaken, for all to see,
I’m accepted, and always will be
