How IS it, for instance, that this One, whom Christians call "God incarnate" now complains TO God in this moment? Is God complaining against Himself? AND the Victim uses foreign language… WHY?

That's what I want to look at today – NOT a cold analysis of tragedy that should make us weep – but a way to move beyond being appalled and saddened and instead to get the true meaning of the scene as what it is: the watershed or dividing-line or breakthrough in God's plan, THĒ Crisis Moment in all of history. Let's look at: 1) The Method of Scripture 2) The Meaning of the Symbols 3) Metabolizing the Significance
