  1. Why did the Father Forsake Jesus Christ? The 4th Saying on the Cross

  2. Why God had to Forsake Christ: • Holiness of God Psalms 24: 3-5 “Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?    And who shall stand in his holy place?He who has clean hands and a pure heart,    who does not lift up his soul to what is false    and does not swear deceitfully.He will receive blessing from the Lord    and righteousness from the God of his salvation.”

  3. RC Sproul “When things are made holy, when they are consecrated, they are set apart unto purity. They are to be used in a pure way. They are to reflect purity as well as simple apartness. Purity is not excluded from the idea of the holy; it is contained within it. But the point we must remember is that the idea of the holy is never exhausted by the idea of purity. It includes purity but is much more than that. It is purity and transcendence. It is transcendent purity.”
