Those three hours of darkness, those three hours of total eclipse between God and the One on the cross, rolled on, and then at the ninth hour, three o’clock in the afternoon, comes that great, that terrible cry from Him:
“My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”
Ah, He forsook Jesus that He might never forsake you and me. There was darkness for Him that there might be only light for us. He bore the judgment that we might go free (
Heb. 13:5
5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5)
).
For Those Who Know Him Not
We go to the cross and see Jesus forsaken and in darkness, but the darkness is only from the sixth hour to the ninth; it passes away from Him. But oh! unsaved, lost soul, there will be no ninth hour for you—no passing away of the darkness for you. It will be forever (
Matt. 8:12
12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 8:12)
).
W. T. P. Wolston
