Have you ever witnessed a moment when darkness seemed to swallow the light? In Pastor Jim's powerful exploration of Matthew's account of the crucifixion, he draws a striking parallel between a solar eclipse and the supernatural darkness that fell during Christ's final hours.

Through vivid imagery and deep scriptural insight, he reveals how the three hours of darkness at Calvary were not a natural phenomenon but rather God's divine marker of judgment being poured out on His Son. Pastor Jim unpacks the profound meaning behind Jesus' cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" explaining how this moment of separation between Father and Son secured our salvation.

Rather than depicting a scene of defeat, he shows how every detail—from the torn temple curtain to the earthquake that split rocks—proclaimed Christ's authority even in death. The message culminates in a stirring call to recognize that our access to God comes not through our own efforts but through Christ's finished work on the cross.

Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have walked with Christ for years, this message challenges us to live in light of the incredible truth that because Jesus was forsaken, we never will be.
