On the cross, Jesus Christ endured the agony of being forsaken by the Father so that we might never be forsaken by God. In this message, we reflect on the pain He suffered, the purpose behind His abandonment, and the power of His victorious resurrection. Christ bore our separation to secure our salvation, conquered death to guarantee our forgiveness, and promises a future reunion when He returns as our crowned Redeemer. Because He was forsaken, we are forgiven. Because He lives, we have hope forever.
