Hallelujah, What a Savior!

This is Passion Week and we’re looking at the seven last sayings of Christ spoken while He was on the cross.

Today we come to saying number four recorded in Matthew 27:46. Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, “Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

These chilling words express Christ’s experience as the wrath of God was unleashed on Him. At that moment Christ was standing in the place of everyone who would ever believe in Him and taking upon Himself the wrath that their sin deserved.

The good news for believers is that Christ’s death satisfied God’s justice so that all our sins are forgiven forever. But we must humbly realize that it took Christ’s infinite life to pay the infinite debt of our sin.

All we can say is, “Hallelujah, what a Savior!”
