At
About Three O'Clock, Jesus Called Out
With
A Loud Voice, “Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani?” Which Means
“My
God, My God, Why Have You Abandoned Me?”
Scripture
Matthew
27
45 At
noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock.
46 At about
three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli,
Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God,
my God, why have you abandoned me?”
Observation
I
don't know about you but for me, it is really hard for me to read
about the crucifixion of Jesus. What my Heavenly Father did to Jesus
He will never do to me! He abandoned Jesus on that cross. He will
never abandon me!
Even
knowing that this was God's plan from the beginning of time it still
doesn't make it any easier for me to read about what Jesus did for
me.
Like
Jesus had told his disciples a few hours earlier when He was
arrested, “Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for
thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them
instantly?”.
Matthew
28:20
“...
And
be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Hebrews
13:5
Don’t
love money; be satisfied with what you have.
For God has said, “I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you.”
John
14:16
And
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Advocate, who will never leave you.
John
10:28-29
29 for
my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone
else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.
Application
I
am safe and secure in my Heavenly Father's hand.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for giving me eternal life. I know that it was a
free gift for me, but a very costly gift for You. Help me to live
every day secure in my relationship with You. I am one of Your
children. I am safe. You have me in the palm of Your hand and no one
can snatch me out of Your powerful hand. Thank You for sending Your
Son to die in my place on that cross.
I
pray for anyone reading this blog that may be worried about their
future. Help them to trust in You. Show them that they don't need to
worry. Help them to walk by faith today.
