Why Have You Forsaken Me?

Special Service
Apr 18, 2025

As His death drew near, Jesus cried out from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” To many onlookers on that day, Christ’s crucifixion was just a routine execution. To grasp the significance of what was happening, we need to understand the message of the cross as revealed in Scripture. In this Good Friday sermon, Alistair Begg explains how God displayed and satisfied His perfect justice at the cross and pardons those who believe in His Son. Because He was forsaken, we can be forgiven.
