The Crux of the Crucifixion

‘Why, my God, am I forsaken?
Yet I know, I’m not mistaken –
sin is serious – this is needful,
for my God to save my people.’
    Bleakest hour of desolation:
    triune God knows separation:
    perfect fellowship in rupture,
    – agony for One whose nature
    holy, pure finds sin abhorrent –
    now the Son becomes repugnant
    to his Father, – my replacement
    – he bears sin and takes my punishment;
but if Christ I’d not accepted,
such on me should still be meted.

At 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?” Mark 15:33,34 (cf Psalm 22:1)
