At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
Matthew 27:46
Has there ever been a time when you felt unloved? Maybe you felt depressed and just wanted to sleep forever. Maybe you, like me, truly believed that NO ONE could understand how you feel. Well, as Christmas approaches remember that Jesus was born just like we all were; He grew up, just like we all do, and He died, just like we all will. What good is a Savior who cannot even begin to have a clue how we feel? Jesus understands.
Jesus understands what it is to laugh, to cry, to feel irritated, to feel abandoned (as He did on the cross). Jesus gets it! He's felt the same ways we feel. So when our hearts and minds cry out wondering if anyone understands...Jesus does!
