In this unforgettable Passover-season message, Simon Obert leads us into the depths of Jesus’ final cry on the cross—“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Far from a moment of despair, this prophetic declaration unlocks the mystery of Psalm 22 and reveals the Messiah’s intentional, sacrificial love.
As we journey from the anguish of the crucifixion to the victorious declaration “It is finished,” we uncover the unshakable truth: Jesus was forsaken so we would never have to be. This teaching draws a powerful parallel between the original Passover and the final sacrifice of the Lamb of God, Yeshua, who covers us with His blood and delivers us from death.
Simon’s message isn’t just theological—it’s deeply personal. It reminds us of our eternal value, our secure identity in Christ, and the invitation to surrender completely to the One who gave everything for us.
This episode is part of our Resurrection series and is meant to stir reflection, repentance, and radical worship. Don’t miss this moment to behold the Lamb of God and step fully into the freedom He purchased.
Main takeaway: Jesus’ cry on the cross was not confusion—it was proclamation. He was pointing to the prophecy, fulfilling it in real-time, and declaring that redemption was finally complete.
