“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” These are some of the most sober, shocking and staggering words Jesus ever uttered. Jesus can relate to our pain and anguish. He knows from experience feelings of loneliness and abandonment. In our 4th installment of our series The Last Words of Christ, we see how these words give us a greater understanding of Jesus’ pain in Gethsemane, the awfulness of sin, and the basis for our salvation.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
