"What is the meaning of Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani?" @ WWHSS (Beta)

✔ Answer：
"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" is an Aramaic phrase spoken by Jesus Christ on the cross, which translates to "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" in English. These words express the profound agony and sense of abandonment that Jesus felt as He bore the sins of humanity. This cry highlights the depth of His suffering and His complete identification with human frailty and pain. Moreover, it fulfills the prophecy from Psalm 22, indicating the Messiah's suffering and isolation but ultimately pointing to the hope of redemption.

"What is the meaning of Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani?" @ WWHSS (Alpha)

✔ Answer：
Jesus cried out "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which means "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" in Aramaic. He said this because at that moment, he felt a separation from God the Father due to the weight of the sins of humanity being placed upon Him. Jesus was experiencing the wrath of God as a substitute for those who believe in Him, so that they could be forgiven and have eternal life.

✔ Reference text：
Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Matthew 27:47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, This Man is calling for Elijah!
Matthew 27:48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.
Matthew 27:49 The rest said, Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.
Matthew 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

"What does it mean that the person hanging on the tree is cursed?" @ WWHSS (Alpha)

✔ Answer：
When someone is hung on a tree, it means they are crucified. In the Bible, God said that anyone who is crucified is cursed. This means that the person is under a curse or punishment from God because of their wrongdoing. However, Jesus took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing when he was crucified on the cross. This means that we can be forgiven and have eternal life if we believe in him.

✔ Reference text：
Galatians 3:13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.'
Galatians 3:14 Through the work of Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, and we Christians receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:15 Dear brothers and sisters, here`s an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or amend an irrevocable agreement, so it is in this case.

"What does it mean that the person hanging on the tree is cursed?" @ WWHSS (Beta)

✔ Answer：
Being hung on a tree symbolizes being cursed under the law of God. This curse signifies a divine punishment for transgressions. However, Jesus Christ, by being crucified (hung on a tree), took upon Himself this curse. Through His sacrifice, the curse of the law is lifted for those who believe, fulfilling the promise of salvation and the receipt of the Holy Spirit through faith.

✔ Reference text：
Galatians 3:13: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree."
Galatians 3:14: "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith"​​.

"What is the reason why God abandoned Jesus and turned away from Him on the cross?" @ WWHSS (Beta)

✔ Answer：
The reason why God abandoned Jesus and turned away from Him on the cross is deeply rooted in the divine plan of salvation. Jesus, being sinless, bore the sins of humanity on the cross. This act of bearing our sins made Him, for a moment, an object of God's wrath against sin. In this profound moment of abandonment, Jesus fulfilled the scriptures, taking upon Himself the punishment for sin that we deserved, thereby reconciling us to God. This temporary forsaking was essential for the redemption of mankind.

✔ Reference text：
Matthew 27:46: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'"
2 Corinthians 5:21: "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
Isaiah 53:5: "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed."
1 Peter 2:24: "Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed."

"What is the reason why God abandoned Jesus and turned away from Him on the cross?" @ WWHSS (Alpha)

✔ Answer：
Jesus was abandoned by God on the cross because He took upon Himself the sins of the world, which is an infinite punishment that only God can bear. Jesus became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21) and as a result, God turned away from Him in His wrath towards sin. However, this was only temporary as Jesus rose again on the third day, proving that He had conquered death and sin once and for all.

✔ Reference text：
Luke 23:23 But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.
Luke 23:24 And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.
Luke 23:25 And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.
Luke 23:26 And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.
Luke 23:27 And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

"How do Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with Jesus' temptation?" @ WWHSS (Alpha)

✔ Answer：
Matthew, Mark, and Luke all deal with Jesus' temptation in their respective gospels. In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus is tempted by Satan in the wilderness after his baptism. In Mark 1:12-13 and Luke 4:1-13, Jesus is also tempted by Satan, but in a different location and with different temptations. The meaning of Jesus' temptation is to show that he overcame sin and temptation, just as we are called to do as Christians. It also demonstrates his humanity and his ability to relate to our struggles.

✔ Reference text：
Luke 22:46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
Luke 22:47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
Luke 22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
Luke 22:49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
Luke 22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
Luke 22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

"How do Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with Jesus' temptation?" @ WWHSS (Beta)

✔ Answer：
Matthew, Mark, and Luke each describe Jesus' temptation in their respective gospels, highlighting different aspects of this significant event. In Matthew 4:1-11, the focus is on the specific temptations Jesus faced and his responses, emphasizing his reliance on Scripture to refute Satan's temptations. Mark's account in Mark 1:12-13 is more concise, mentioning Jesus being in the wilderness with wild animals and angels ministering to him, emphasizing the harsh environment and divine support. Luke's version in Luke 4:1-13 parallels Matthew's account but includes unique details such as the order of temptations and specific locations, further illustrating the depth of Jesus' trials.

✔ Reference text：
Matthew 4:4 - Jesus responds to Satan's first temptation by saying, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."
Mark 1:13 - Mark notes that Jesus was with the wild animals, and angels ministered to Him, highlighting his divine support during the temptation.
Luke 4:8 - In response to Satan's offer of the kingdoms of the world, Jesus says, "Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
Luke 4:13 - Luke concludes the temptation narrative by noting that the devil departed from Jesus "for a season," indicating the ongoing nature of spiritual conflict.
