Quest. But why was Christ thus forsaken of his Father? Ans. 1. To satisfy God for our forsaking of him. Christ’s forsaking was satisfactory for all our forsakings of God. Beloved, we all forsook God in Adam, and indeed what do we else in every sin we commit, but forsake the Lord, and turn to the creature? what are all our sins of pleasure, profit, ambition, and the like, but a leaving of the fountain of living waters, to fetch contentment from ‘broken cisterns,’ Jer. ii. 13. 2. But Christ was chiefly forsaken, that he might bring us home again to God, that there might be no more a separation betwixt his blessed Majesty and us.
