“My God, my God,
why have you forsaken me.”
Matthew 27:46
(and Psalm 22:1)
The most painful cry in history was when the Son of God cried in anguish, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me.”
Read Psalm 22 …
· It begins with these words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
· It continues with profound prophesies prefiguring the cross.
· It’s closing begins with “I will praise you ... I will fulfill my vows ...”
What has been your greatest cry in life?
When you’re hurting, cry out like Jesus.
· Acknowledge your pain (“My God, my God, I feel utterly forsaken.”)
· Look for the ways God is acting. (Just as Psalm 22 is filled with God’s actions -- fulfilled prophesies – how is he acting in your circumstances?)
· Recommit yourself in faith – don’t just say, “I will praise you ... I will fulfill my vows ...,” actually start praising and obeying.
In Christ’s Love,
a guy who needs someone
to remind him to look both ways
(because God is there … and acting)
