My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me | Seven Last Words Service | Reverend Kenny Brown

About this sermon

“My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me” reveals the depth of Christ’s sacrifice and the magnitude of God’s love through the lens of separation and reconciliation. Reverend Kenny Brown emphasizes that this moment on the cross represents the intersection of two pivotal points in history—the fall of humanity through Adam and the redemption of humanity through Jesus Christ, the second Adam. Jesus’ cry is not just an expression of pain, but a profound demonstration of what sin does—it separates. In that moment, Christ bore the full weight of humanity’s sin, experiencing the separation from God that we deserved. Yet, through that suffering, God’s agape love is fully displayed. The message underscores that humanity was helpless—spiritually weak, sinful, and incapable of restoring the relationship with God. But through Jesus’ death, reconciliation became possible. God did what humanity could not—He initiated restoration, bridging the gap caused by sin and transforming enemies into friends. Reconciliation means a complete exchange—from separation to unity, from condemnation to acceptance. Christ took on our sin and punishment so that we could receive forgiveness and eternal relationship with God. This act was not based on human effort but solely on God’s grace. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to recognize the seriousness of sin, the power of Christ’s sacrifice, and the necessity of choosing Him. Because of what Jesus endured, we are no longer separated—we are restored, redeemed, and accepted in Him.
