Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani
When they came for Jesus and all his friends ran away out of fear to abandonment and left Jesus alone, Jesus said nothing, because he was tough enough to handle it.
When Jesus was mocked and laughed at, Jesus said nothing, because he was tough enough to handle it.
When Jesus was whipped and scourged and his flesh torn from his body, Jesus said nothing, because he was tough enough to handle it.
When Jesus was humiliated and a crown of thorns was smashed into his skull and a dirty robe was laid over his open wounds, Jesus said nothing, because he was tough enough to handle it.
When they tore the dirty garment off him after his blood and scabbed body dried on him, Jesus said nothing, because he was tough enough to handle it.
When they drove nails deep into his hands and feet, Jesus said nothing, because he was tough enough to handle it.
When they erected the cross and Jesus hung there alone and beaten, bloodied and torn, disgraced and rejected, Jesus said nothing, because he was tough enough to handle it.
But in the seconds that Jesus took on the sin of the world, God had to look away from the disgust of the sin of you and of me. And in that moment, when God left him, Jesus cried out in fear and horror and panic “Eloi, Eloiu, lama sabachthani” which means, “My God, My God, why has thou forsaken me“.
If Jesus could not bare the absence of God for a few seconds before his death, What will it be like for those who will be without God, alone for an eternity?
Matt 27:46, Mark 15:34
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 (King James Version)

Can someone tell me if they are notified when I leave a reply? i am trying to make sure I am notified and not appear rude if someone comments here and I never reply back. I would feel just awful if someone asked me something or said something nice to me and I was never to respond because i never got the message.
