And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth
hour. A

which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Mark 15:33-34
BIG IDEA: We must realize the d
arkness and distress our sin caused.

This was a symbol of moral darkness. (Luke 22:53)
This was a divine judgement. ( Exodus 10:21-22)
This darkness fulfilled p
rophecy. (Amos 8:9-10)
DISTRESS
Sin separates us from God. (Isaiah 59:2)
Jesus is now drinking from the cup of w
rath. ( Matthew 26: 36-39)
Jesus is f orsaken by God because he has taken our sins upon him. (John 1:29)
