What should make of Jesus’s cry from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Does this signal a rapture in the Trinitarian relationship between Father and Son? Does it reflect the Son’s experience of the Father’s wrath? Or do these read more into the text than is actually there? And how does Jesus’s quotation of Psalm 22 inform his words?

“Romans 8:28
is perhaps the most powerful promise in all of Scripture: ‘And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.’
But it’s also perhaps the verse most easily misapplied to hurting people. Despite good-intentions, it has been used to dismiss pain, rush the broken toward a “silver lining,” or suggest that if you’re still hurting, you must not be trusting God enough. Depending on how we understand this verse, it can feel like either a lifeline or a slap in the face. The difference isn’t abstract or merely intellectual. It’s the difference between hope that sustains and a theology that crushes.”
