This threw me back when I first read it. It raises up two questions for me.from http://gospelcom.net
Matt 27:46
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
1) Did God really forsake Jesus, or is this another lesson taught through a metaphor?
2) If God did forsake Jesus, why?
It also says in Luke 23:46 "...Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." at about the 6th hour, meaning it happened before the quote I have above.
What does this mean?
PS - If anyone's listened to the song "Chop Suey!" you'll realize the signifigance of those two verses.
