My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Matthew 27:46
Now, I am old school. I don’t have access to a computer or a talking relationship with Mr. Google or Facebook, and I don’t own a laptop.
When I need to know something, I go to Collin’s Dictionary.
The word “forsaken” means abandoned, deserted, disowned, lonely, outcast, and so on.
Let me read from the Bible, Matthew 27:45-46.
From noon until three in the afternoon, darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lemasabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
The same people who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem are the same people who now wanted to see and have him crucified for crimes he did not do.
However, Jesus, being Jesus, had nothing but love in his heart for all of us.
Let us pray.
