Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God… I. That Christ, being in extremity, was forsaken. II. Being forsaken, He was very sensible of it, and from sensibleness complains, pouring out His soul into the bosom of the Father. III. He not only complains, but believes certainly that His Father will help Him. IV. And to strengthen His faith the more, He puts it forth in prayer, the fire of faith in His heart kindled into a flame of prayer. (R. Sibbs.)
