"About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?' - which means, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'"
Matthew 27:46
What a powerful passage we read in today's devotion from the Gospel of Matthew. The significance of those words spoken by Jesus on the cross is the root of our salvation. It is how we are justified before God. At that moment, God transferred the sins of the entire world onto the shoulders of Jesus and then punished him for those sins.
He wiped our slate clean from all of our sin, past, present and future.
Is it not a small ask from God for us to follow his laws? After all, His Son was perfect, followed every law and yet was punished so that we may be forgiven of our sins. I think it is a small price that we pay because Jesus paid the ultimate price for us.
God Bless you!
