Pastor Dafydd Hughes reflects on Luke’s account of the crucifixion, focusing on the three hours of darkness that marked Jesus being forsaken by God. The sermon explores the meaning of divine judgment, the bearing of sin by an innocent Saviour, and the life‑giving results of Christ’s death. Listeners are challenged to consider what Christ’s forsakenness means for faith, assurance, worship, and willingness to stand with Christ even when facing rejection.
