"My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" These words from Jesus on the cross echo the opening words of Psalm 22. They indicate the agony, both physical and spiritual, that Jesus was suffering. But they were not words of despair, because I believe Jesus also had the rest of the psalm in mind, including the final verses.
"All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD" (v27)
"They will come and tell a people yet to be born about His righteousness -- what He has done."

When Jesus gave up His spirit, the curtain of the sanctuary (remember that from recent Exodus readings) was split in two, from the top to the bottom. Everyone now had access to God. Or from a different perspective, God had burst forth to be with each of us.
