Our Lord Jesus, faced with the unbridled wrath of His Father. Christ suffered at the hand of His Father's displeasure for the first time. He experienced a momentary interruption of His conscious union and the light of His Father's countenance. "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"– Matt. 27v45. Charles Spurgeon wrote: "I do not think that the records of time, or even of eternity, contain a sentence more full of anguish. Here the wormwood and the gall, and all the other bitterness, are outdone. Here you may look as into a vast abyss; and though you strain your eyes, and gaze till sight fails you, yet you perceive no bottom; it is measureless, unfathomable, and inconceivable. This anguish of the Savior on your behalf and mine is no more to be measured and weighed than the sin which needed it, or the love which endures it. We will adore where we cannot comprehend". (Christ's Words from the Cross, C. H. Spurgeon, p. 51). To this, Martin Luther sat for hours. He neither ate any food nor rested. But he silently pondered these words. Then at last he spoke and said, "God forsaken of God! Who can understand that?"
