Today With Jesus

What if Jesus’ cry from the cross was not just a question—but an invitation?

In this episode, we take a deeper look at Psalm 22, the very passage Jesus quotes when He cries,
“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46).

By stepping into the words of David, we begin to see not only the depth of human anguish—but also the unshakable thread of trust that runs through both David’s life and Jesus’ suffering.
When Jesus cries out, He is not losing faith—He is revealing His heart:
He is bearing the weight of sin (2 Corinthians 5:21)
He is entering fully into human suffering
He is trusting the Father even in silence

And just like Psalm 22, the story does not end in despair.

What do you do when God feels distant?

In this episode, we begin our study of one of the most haunting and powerful statements ever spoken from the cross:

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46)

These words stop us in our tracks. They are raw. Honest. Emotional. And deeply meaningful.

But what did Jesus mean?

Was He truly abandoned?
Was this a cry of despair?
Or is there something deeper happening beneath the surface?

In Part 1, we explored the moment itself—the raw emotion, the setting at the cross, and the relationship between Jesus, Mary, and John. In Part 2, we turn our attention to what this statement reveals about Jesus’ heart and how it reshapes our understanding of family, care, and discipleship today.

In Luke 23:43, Jesus spoke words of incredible comfort to a dying man:

“Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

In the previous episode, we examined what Jesus meant when He spoke these words from the cross. In this episode, we turn our attention to the compassion behind the promise.

The statement Jesus made to the thief was not out of character. Throughout His ministry, Jesus consistently showed deep compassion for sinners, the suffering, and the spiritually lost. The promise of paradise reveals the heart of a Savior who cares deeply for people.
