keep on misreading things if it makes you feel safer, though. even the pastor at church this sunday had a semi-revolutionary sermon.

Mine was interesting as well. Went over some of Jesus’s last words “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” which I had always thought was a fleeting moment of despair but very uncharacteristic of Jesus
But the pastor had explained (and it seems to be true) that every single previous question Jesus had ever asked he knew the answer to. They were questions but intended to teach lessons. And the pastor offered a bunch of examples
So did Jesus know the answer for the question of why had God forsaken him? And who was the question aimed towards? God, or the people watching?
It just so happens to be an exact copy of the Hebrew phrase from psalm 22 which was in the Old Testament and written before Jesus was born: “O God, O God, why have you forsaken me?” And the psalm goes through a bunch of reasoning and ends with an inspiring message regarding the future generations yet unborn
So it would seem, that the question was aimed at the masses not at God, was intended to be another lesson, and the answer was us
Found that interesting
