#217 Finished

Jesus didn’t just die — He was forsaken . For 3 hours, darkness covered the land, and the Son of God cried out “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” — and the Father didn’t answer. In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:46-50 and uncovers what actually happened in those 3 hours on the cross, why Jesus stopped calling God “Father,” and what it means that He declared “It is finished.” If you’ve ever felt like God went silent on you, or if you’re still secretly trying to earn what Jesus already paid for — this one’s for you. Topics covered: The 3 hours of darkness and what they represent | Why Jesus called God “God” instead of “Father” | What “It is finished” actually means for your everyday life | Why your salvation can’t be 99% — it has to be 100% | How bad theology leads us to look for salvation in the wrong places 📖 Matthew 27:46-50 | Psalm 22 | Habakkuk 1:13 | John 10:17-18 Support the show → amenpodcast.com | Venmo: @amenpodcast | Cash App: $amenalex Get full access to Amen Podcast at amenpodcast.substack.com/
