Truth 4 the week
Topic: Forsaken to draw close
Bible Verse : Matthew: 27: 46 "About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice,My God, my God, why have you forsaken me"
Message : To understand this separation, we need to understand the delight of fellowship with God. Bible says only when we taste God we will understand Him (Psalms:34:8). From the beginning of the world, God was always eager to have fellowship with man to talk, bless, train, support & walk with him. (Gen:3:8, Psalms:144). He longs to dwell in our hearts (Jhn:14:23). So Jesus too had this fellowship with father even when He was on earth (Jhn:14:10,11). So why separation? It is our sins when casted on Jesus led to momentary separation (IS:59:2 & 54:7). God is Holy & He cannot tolerate sin (Hab:1:13). Finally, when Jesus was drawn to glory He also drew us closer to God (Eph:2:13) & by this He made us a generation who will serve Him (PS:22:30,31)
Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for the Love you have shown on cross to draw us closer. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
