CHICAGO ILLINOIS 6063 S /’ \ V . / y J Title: WHEN THE LORD ASKED WHY There are two occasions when the Lord asked "Why?" wn.ch stand out from all the rest. Once it was to God He cried it and once to Saul of Tarsus. On ce to toe Holy One and once to the chief of sinners. Once He cred it from the shameful cross and once from His glory in hea ven. In each case the name was repeated. In Matt. 27:46 we find the first anguished "Why?” as He cr.ed: "MY GOD. MY GOD. WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?” The other is found in Acts 8:4, where He calls from His exile in heaven: "SAUL, SAUL. WHY PERSECUTEST THOU ME?” Ja/ | . , .

Christ’s death was the remedy for man’s sin. It was because of the utter unreasonableness of man's sin that God, to save hm, had to be more than re asonable. Saul had led his nation and the world in rebellion against Chrst, but this is just why, in infinite love God chose him to become the great apostle of. grace, telling the world that "Chr st died for our sins.” Hear him tel! how he had been ”a blasphemer, and a ner secutor, and injurious” but how "the grace of our Lord was ex ceed*ne abundant” <1 Tim. 1:13, 14*.
