The ultimate sacrifice that Jesus gave on
the cross was not the end.
It was only the means to an end; For in obeying
His Father's will, Jesus now lives,
and He has opened the doors of heaven for us!
Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour
there was darkness over all the land.
And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried out with a loud voice,
saying, "Eli, Eli, Iama sabachthani?"
That is, "My God, My God, why have
You forsaken Me?"
Matthew 27:45-46 (NKJV)
But three days later!
