I think it is a mystery that we will not fully understand this side of the grave. Did God really separate Himself from Jesus or was it that Jesus felt the separation because of the sin he took upon Himself. Some like Calvin think that unless Jesus’ soul shared in the punishment we would not have total redemption, that is, both body and soul.
Whatever the answer, we know that the outcome is perfect because it was a perfect sacrifice for all sin (we are told that in the Bible) – and; we can be sure that His sacrifice has paid the total penalty for sin – such that we will have a full and complete redemption. Do you agree?
Did God forsake His Son?
