The Seven Sayings Of Christ From The Cross: “The Cry Of Forsakenness”
When was the last time that you felt forsaken and abandoned by the Lord? The truth is, in our humanity, and emotions, there are times in life when we fell as though God has abandoned us and walked away from us, but the real truth is God will never leave us. When we feel abandoned that is a time of despair, and depression. He has not and cannot walk away from us.
Yet, when Jesus was dying on the cross for the sins of all mankind, that was not the case when Jesus cried, “My God, My god, why have you forsaken me?” In that moment of time, Jesus realized for the first time in all of eternity, what it felt like and what it was to have the God of the universe to completely forsake him, as Jesus was the sin bearer for the all mankind, especially those who would believe.
