The Road to Easter #9-Reconciled to call God, Father

 Matthew 27:45-46

Jesus' cry to God, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

The cry of Jesus tells us that sin indeed causes separation from God. He felt forsaken and abandoned by his Father because at that moment, he carried the sins of all.

Jesus, bearing our sins on the cross, he provided us the way to be reconciled with God the Father so that we can address Him as Father. Jesus, who addressed God as Father, on the cross was not legally permitted to address God as such because of the separation. That's why he said, "My , my God my God, why have you forsaken me so that we can now have the right to say Abba Father, Abba Father, why have you so accepted us; for we, have assumed the position of sonship. Hallelujah!
