The Big Question

 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.  (Matthew 27:45-50 ESV)
In all the struggles of life, the big question is always this: "Why? Why is this happening to me?" As Christ cried out this question, the answer was very clear to Him.  I truly beleive He cried out these words on our behalf.  Why did He have to experience such separation from the Father?  And the answer is very clear.  We need only look in the mirror.
