Three hours of darkness

What do you think happened in the three hours of darkness when Jesus was on the cross?

We all know he was beaten, tortured and crucified before that point. But, what actually happened during the darkness?

I think that was the time that God was "judging" Christ for our sins. I think Jesus became all of our sins in those three hours, was judged by God and the sacrifice was made.

Since we all worship a loving and just God, he could not have sacrificed the perfect Jesus. That would not be just. Jesus had to become the very essence of all of our sin before God could accept him as a sacrifice.

I think we all get caught up in the beating and torture (Passion of the Christ movie) and lose sight of what I think was the most important part.

What are your thoughts?
