WE never find such a thought in scripture as the Father's wrath being on the Son of His love. The great force to me of Psa. 22 is this: that the Son of man did not forsake, or forget to vindicate God's [Elohim's] glory, just when God, on account of His taking upon Him our judgment-made sin for us forsook Him. The scene was in no sense one of enjoying anything, as far as the Lord Jesus was concerned, but not to forsake God, when God for our sin's sake had to forsake Him, proved that He was God and that the everlasting springs were in Himself. He knew who He was, and knew that none but Himself, as Man, could go through what He had undertaken to pass through. He was still " the only-begotten, which is in the bosom of the Father." Therefore it could not be said that " the face of the Father, as the Father, was hidden from His own Son." G. V. W.
