Christ, the living Son of God,
sent
to the earth
to
walk here with us;
walking
with the Father,
serving
the Lord;
going
to the cross
that
we would be restored
Impossible
for us to comprehend
yet
stark before our reading
somehow
upon that cross
Christ
felt abandoned
unable
to sense God’s presence
truly,
fully human, disquiet,
Christ’s
moment of aloneness
Crying
out to his Father, to God:
“My
God, My God
why
have you forsaken me?”
as if
to say, “I have been faithful
to every
word of the Law
walking
as You have led me,
never
denying Your call”.
But
it was our sin within Him
God
now our sacrifice
colored
with our iniquity
about
to pay our price;
God
crying in heaven
darkness
on the land
for the
dying Son of Man
