HOW TO SURVIVE A BAD DAY (Part 4) Mike Seale
Today in our series, we arrive at one of the darkest moments of
the cross. Life lesson number four, “Aim Your Hard Questions at GOD,
Not Man.”
“From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all
the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani?” -which means, “My GOD, my GOD, why have you
forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:45-46). It is filled with emotional pain and
few things can send shivers up our spines than to hear this cry of the
Son of GOD. It is the cry of abandonment. The very word, “forsaken,” is
the Greek word, “egkataleipo” and means (1) to abandon, to desert,
to leave in straits, to leave helpless (1b) totally abandoned, utterly for-
saken (2) to leave behind. In His darkest hour, Jesus experiences one of
the deepest human emotions, the abandonment of GOD. “Father
GOD, of all the times in my life, when I need you most, why have you
left me now?” It is almost too painful even to talk about!
The words of Jesus, this loud cry from the cross, is actually a
quote from Psalm 22. This psalm written by David a thousand years earli-
er finds its fulfillment in the Son of GOD on the cross. Can there be any-
thing more painful than to be experiencing your darkest moment in life
and to realize the agony of abandonment and loneliness? It is in these
difficult days of life that we experience the mystery of GOD’s silence.
“GOD, where are you when I need you the most?” For the first time Je-
sus is experiencing the break of fellowship with the eternal Father. The
second person of the triune Godhead was feeling separation from the
eternal bond he had with the Father before all the universe was creat-
ed. This forsakenness that Jesus was undergoing occurred because
“Him who knew no sin” was being made sin for us “that we might be-
come the righteousness of GOD in Him,” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
In today’s message my hope and prayer is that we will recognize
that Jesus knows and understands those moments we have in life when
we feel alone and abandoned. I don’t know that any human or theolo-
gian can truly grasp the deep mystery of that moment on the cross, but
I know without a doubt, Jesus fully knows how we feel when we experi-
ence life’s darkest moments. May the LORD GOD bless our study today,
and may the Holy Spirit be our true teacher!
MISSION TO RIVER CITY
During Spring Break, Sarah Gossett, Julie Cash, Isabella Strickland,
Sophia Strickland, Suzanna Shepherd, Edward Smith, Elijah Hollis,
Dunnivan Shepherd, and Blake McAdams provided ministry sup-
port to River City Ministry in North Little Rock, as well as spent time
with the students of River City Church. Our students served meals to
the under-resourced, assisted the River City Ministry Eye Clinic, sort-
ed a very large clothes closet for the homeless population of
downtown Little Rock, and became fast friends with inner-city stu-
dents in North Little Rock.
