Summary
Jesus didn't just die — He was forsaken. For 3 hours, darkness covered the land, and the Son of God cried out "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" — and the Father didn't answer.
In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:46-50 and uncovers what actually happened in those 3 hours on the cross, why Jesus stopped calling God "Father," and what it means that He declared "It is finished."
If you've ever felt like God went silent on you, or if you're still secretly trying to earn what Jesus already paid for — this one's for you.
Topics covered: The 3 hours of darkness and what they represent | Why Jesus called God "God" instead of "Father" | What "It is finished" actually means for your everyday life | Why your salvation can't be 99% — it has to be 100% | How bad theology leads us to look for salvation in the wrong places
📖 Matthew 27:46-50 | Psalm 22 | Habakkuk 1:13 | John 10:17-18

| 0:07.6 | If you had something to do, if you had a percentage, let's say you had 1% to do with your salvation and you need 100% to be saved. |
| 0:17.1 | If you did that 1%, then that means you would also be responsible for that 1% |
| 0:23.7 | until you died |
| 0:24.5 | which means you better not make any mistakes because if you drop that 1% |
| 0:28.7 | then you're at 99% |
| 0:31.9 | and you're not 100% saved |
| 0:33.9 | and that's bad. That's not finished. 99% is not finished when you see it when |
| 0:38.8 | you're downloading something on your computer. Yeah, I'm thinking of that. Is that 99%? You're not like, |
| 0:42.9 | well, I can use the app right now. Nope. You cannot use it. The app will not save you at that point. |
| 0:47.8 | Yeah. So good. So good. Amen. From noon until three in the afternoon, darkness covered the whole land. |

| 1:07.1 | And today we're sitting with a heavy passage in scripture, Matthew 27, verses 46 through 50. |
| 1:15.2 | And this is the moment Jesus breathed his last. |
| 1:19.8 | This isn't just history. |
| 1:21.5 | This is the center of everything. |
