From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three oâclock Jesus cried with a loud voice, âEli, Eli, lema sabachthani?â that is, âMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?â Matthew 27:44â46
Jesus asked a lot of questions during his relatively brief ministry on earth â 307 to be precise. Yet, THIS question ⦠his LAST question in his earthly life, was different from all the others. It wasnât meant to teach anything ⦠it wasnât offered for the benefit of those who are listening in.
Rather, as Martin Copenhaver has written, âMy God, my God, why have you forsaken meâ is an expression of isolation. It is raw and threatening, like an open wound. And, like Jesus hanging on the cross, it hangs in the air unanswered.â

God called to the man, “Where are you?”
He answered, “I heard You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked;
so I hid.” Genesis 3:8-10
The first symptom of this “sin” thing is a warped view of God. Previously in Genesis, walking in the garden in the cool of the day is part of the normal routine for Adam and Eve. To them, God wasn’t a riddle to be solved or an existential question. God was a Being to know and be known by, a Being as real as any of the creatures of his own creation, and a Being altogether good, sheltering them while also looking them in the eye and listening the protection of a father and the intimacy of a friend. Then suddenly, God is feared, resisted, misunderstood, hidden from. That wasn’t a momentary misconception; that was a new normal. It’s all we’ve ever known.
