My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me

Many of us have heard Jesus’s cry from the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” and assumed it means God abandoned Jesus in his darkest moment.

But in context, something far richer is happening.

Jesus is quoting the opening line of Psalm 22.

In the Jewish tradition, quoting a single line of Scripture often functioned as a remez (a verbal hint meant to call an entire passage to mind). And Psalm 22 is astonishingly connected to the crucifixion story. It speaks of mockers shaking their heads, pierced hands and feet, thirst, divided garments, and someone suffering while surrounded by enemies. The Gospel writers intentionally weave these details into their accounts of Jesus’s death.

But Psalm 22 doesn’t end in abandonment.

It turns toward trust, hope, vindication, and ultimately victory: “For he [God] has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help” (Psalm 22:24).

Even more striking, the final line of Psalm 22 — “He has done it” —can be equally translated as “It is finished.” Of course, these are Jesus’s final words in John’s gospel.

Jesus wasn’t filled with despair on the cross. Rather, he anchored himself in the story of God even in the midst of the most unimaginable suffering.

That doesn’t minimize the agony of the cross. Jesus suffered. He felt the full force of human pain, grief, and anguish. But the cross wasn’t a moment where the Father suddenly turned away from the Son. It was the climactic fulfillment of the redemptive story the Father, Son, and Spirit had purposed from the beginning.

And that matters deeply for us.

Because there are moments when God feels absent to us, too. Moments where suffering is so heavy that we feel abandoned. Yet the cross reminds us that feeling abandoned and being abandoned aren’t the same thing.

Jesus entered the darkest depths of human suffering and discovered that even there, the Father was still present. And we too may find, often to our surprise, that what feels like death can become a doorway into a deeper and truer kind of life.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank you for entering fully into human suffering and holding fast to the story of the Father even from the cross. When we feel abandoned, remind us that your presence hasn’t left us. Teach us to trust you in the dark. Amen

“He who hardens his neck and refuses instruction after being often reproved (corrected, criticized), Will suddenly be broken beyond repair. Where there is no vision [no revelation of God and His word], the people are unrestrained; But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God]. [1 Sam 3:1; Amos 8:11, 12] The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the Lord will be exalted and safe. An unjust man is repulsive to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way [of the Lord] is repulsive to the wicked.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29‬:‭1‬, ‭18‬, ‭25‬, ‭27‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“My son, forget not my law; But let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, And peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding In the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Time to pull up your big boy pants for this post, walking in the spirit above all! That is what pleases God! I received this from a friend of over 55 years. Please take time and read, as a
Believer it’s our Highest call Sonship!

Brother Kyle,

I received this text message from Pastor Kato a Brother in Christ Jesus. I thought I share it with you.

I FORGAVE THEM “ALL”

“Many years ago, when God revealed to me that I was a pastor, I had to take some steps to make sure I reflected what a Person of God is supposed to be, how they should live, and how they should think. I realized this verse HAS to be taken seriously…

Matthew 6:14-15 - “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. “But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions”. 📖

I remember going into prayer and forgiving ALL of the people from my past AND BEYOND for everything they did. From that moment forward I held NO ILL FEELINGS – HOSTILITY – RESENTLENT against anyone.

I FORGAVE the people who were racist against me as a child, I FORGAVE the K*K for what they did to some of my ancestors, I FORGAVE the person who stole my mother’s purse years ago, I FORGAVE the person who rough-handled my grandmother when she was in a nursing home (and that was hard because she was the one who introduced me to Jesus), they were all FORGIVEN! 🙌

And if you believe God’s Word you know He can use “ANYONE” to do his work. Moses, Paul, and David all did things that were wrong, and yet God used them.

GOD MUST DOMINATE COLOR

There are people in today’s world that are hoodwinking people (especially Black people), into hating people from the past for their SINS which is the exact OPPOSITE of what the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches FORGIVNESS! 🙌

Colossians 3:13 - Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 📖

As we approach this celebration of our country’s 250TH Anniversary, 🇺🇸🎇 remember that no matter what sins the people did who God placed to build our GREAT Christian Country, where you have the FREEDOM to try to be whatever you want, don’t allow these UNGODLY people to turn you against the people of the past.

They were GREAT people because they did God’s work…and YES…they did it whether they owned slaves or not! And if you do your research, many slaves were treated well, not all were being whipped and tortured all day as TV would like you to believe. But, it didn’t stop them from doing God’s work and they clearly wrote God’s name into all of their documents.

THIS IS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY! 🙌

WE ARE OWED NOTHING

The Lord said that if a man fathers a son who sees the sins of his father and does not do likewise, he shall not bear the penalty for his father’s iniquity.

“The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself” (Ezekiel 18:20). 📖

SLAVERY IN THE BIBLE

The slavery in the Bible was not based exclusively on race. People were not enslaved because of their nationality or the color of their skin. In Bible times, slavery was based on economics; it was a matter of social status. 😯

People sold themselves as slaves when they could not pay their debts or provide for their families. In New Testament times, sometimes doctors, lawyers, and even politicians were slaves to someone else. Some people actually chose to be slaves so as to have all their needs provided for by their masters. 😲

FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION

Lighten your hearts – Forgive everyone – Prepare to be in the Afterlife…so God can say as He did in Matthew 25:21 -

‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 🙌📖

(This was based on handling money/talents, but it applies to ALL things our Master wants from US.) AMEN.”

Wisdom from God’s word today!

“Oil and perfume make the heart glad; So does the sweetness of a friend’s counsel that comes from the heart. My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may reply to him who reproaches (reprimands, criticizes) me. [Prov 10:1; 23:15, 24] A prudent man sees evil and hides himself and avoids it, But the naive [who are easily misled] continue on and are punished [by suffering the consequences of sin]. [Prov 22:3]”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭9‬, ‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold. The rich and poor have a common bond; The Lord is the Maker of them all. [Job 31:15; Prov 14:31] A prudent and far-sighted person sees the evil [of sin] and hides himself [from it], But the naive continue on and are punished [by suffering the consequences of sin]. The reward of humility [that is, having a realistic view of one’s importance] and the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord Is riches, honor, and life. [Prov 21:21] Thorns and snares are in the way of the obstinate [for their lack of honor and their wrong-doing traps them]; He who guards himself [with godly wisdom] will be far from them and avoid the consequences they suffer.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭AMP‬‬
