An Anchor in the Midst of a Storm

Matthew 27:39-47

The supernatural fact that Jesus was made sin for us defies natural consideration without the Word of God to help us. Jesus was made sin, He was made a sinner and everything that was sin, He came so that it could be once and for all dealth with. In this 4th of the seven last words that our Lord Jesus spoke from the cross, it is a mystery to the extent that we can see the invisible and spiritual dynamic which occurred between God the Father and God the Son. We see the cry of submission, the cry of separation and the cry of the sinner. This event was so powerful, it affected the nature of the relationship that had existed in perfect unity, perfect closeness from eternity past! It shows us how far Jesus would go and how traumatic His sacrifice was for the sins of the world.
