The Broken Heart
Commentary
Much discussion has gone on in the church regarding God's attitude on Good Friday. Where was he? What was he doing? What was his attitude?
There have been those who have cast him as a holy God, whose opposition to evil and sin required him to turn his back while Jesus suffered the penalty for all ages.
Others have seen him as a God of law and order, who requires obedience that has not been forthcoming. Therefore, wrath must spend itself while God turns his back and does not look.
