As Jesus hangs on the cross, before he dies, he cries out "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46) In this teaching, Richard explores what it meant for Jesus to say this, and how that points us not to a distant God, unable to sympathise with our suffering, but the opposite: a God who is intricately and personally involved in our pain. As we lead up to Easter, we're going to look at the things Jesus says during his his execution, beginning with these words. Though life is very different at the moment under Lockdown in the UK, Jesus' words and what they point us to are still as significant today as they were when he first spoke them.
