“The moments before he died, Christ was seized by doubt. Surely that must have been his greatest hardship? God's silence.”

Algot Frövik (Allan Edwall) in Winter Light (1962).

Context: When Jesus was nailed to the cross — and hung there in torment - he cried out — "God, my God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" He cried out as loud as he could. He thought that his heavenly father had abandoned him. He believed everything he'd ever preached was a lie. The moments before he died, Christ was seized by doubt. Surely that must have been his greatest hardship? God's silence.
