Palm Sunday

Jesus was not questioning God. He was quoting the first line of Psalms 22.

A deep expression of the anguish He was feeling as He took on the sins of the world, which caused Him to experience temporary separation in His humanity from His father. This was what Jesus had dreaded as He had prayed to God in this garden to take the cup from Him (Matthew 26:39).

The physical agony was horrible, but this was even worse.

Jesus endured this terrible suffering and death so that we would never have to experience eternal separation from God.

Christ, the Lord was tempted and suffered for us. Come, let us adore Him.
