“My God, I cry by day, and Thou answerest not…and Thou art holy, Thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22:2-3 JND).
When the Lord Jesus was on the cross, we do not read of any audible cry to God until right at the end of the three hours of darkness. But during all that time, there was the inward cry to God as He felt the weight of our sins being placed upon Him. But God is holy, and could not answer those cries. When the Lord Jesus bore our sins, He was “made sin” for us. That means that God had to deal with Him as He would have had to deal with us as sinners. This is something that overwhelms us when we think of it. Have we thanked the Lord Jesus for all that He endured for us? Because the Lord Jesus suffered for us, we will never make a cry to God that He cannot answer.
