Matthew records the same cry as Mark but shapes its meaning differently.
The earth shakes. Rocks split. The temple veil tears. Tombs open.
Matthew wants us to see what Mark made us feel. The cross is not merely personal agony; it's cosmic upheaval. It's a turning point in the story of the world.
This week, we’ll ask: What if the cross was the moment everything changed? What if what looked like defeat was actually the hinge of history?
Matthew shows us a God who transforms suffering. The cry that sounded like abandonment becomes the earthquake that begins new creation.
