  1. Why Have You Forsaken Me?

  2. Martin Luther “And all the prophets saw this, that Christ was to become the greatest thief, murderer, adulterer, robber, desecrator, blasphemer, etc., there has ever been anywhere in the world. He is not acting in His own Person now. Now He is not the Son of God, born of the Virgin. But He is a sinner, who has and bears the sin of Paul, the former blasphemer persecutor, and assaulter; of Peter, who denied Christ; of David, who was an adulterer and a murderer, and who caused the Gentiles to blaspheme the name of the Lord…” -- Galatians 3:13, p. 277

  3. Paul Billheimer “Because He was ‘made sin,’ impregnated with sin, and became the very essence of sin, on the cross He was banished from God’s presence as a loathsome thing. He and sin were made synonymous…” -- Destined For The Throne, p. 83

  4. Would Not Be Forsaken John 8:28-29 — “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me. And he who sent me is with me(present). He has not left me(aorist) alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.” John 16:32 — “Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone(present), for the Father is with me(present).”

  5. Made Sin? 2 Corinthians 5:21 — “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” • Was Billheimer correct? • “Impregnated with sin… the very essence of sin… He and sin were made synonymous” • There are many places in OT where “sin” is rightly translated “sin offering” (Lev. 4:21, 25; 6:25) • Jewish NT: “be a sin offering on our behalf” • Mounce Reverse-Interlinear NT: “be a sin offering for us” • NTL: “be the offering for sin” • NIV footnote: “sin offering” • HCSB footnote: “sin offering”

  6. Becoming A Curse? Galatians 3:13 — “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.’” • Was Luther correct? • “The greatest thief, murderer, adulterer, robber, desecrator, blasphemer, etc., there has ever been anywhere in the world… not the Son of God… a sinner” • The manner in which Christ became a curse is explained by the quotation (Deut. 21:23) • He died the death of one cursed by God—being hanged on a tree
