The Tomb

"Father, Father, why have You you forsaken Me?"

His whole life Christ had shared in our humanity. He had lived with flesh. He ate, he drank, he slept. Yet on the Cross, uttering those words, He was utterly and completely joined with mankind. Not only did he share our flesh, but he shared our distance and solitude.

Imagine it: God calling out to God "Why have You forsaken Me?"

It was after these significant words that His Task was accomplished.

The He lowered His head and gave up His Spirit.

God became man so that man might become god. Now the Living God walks with the dead so that the dead may have life.
