wonder of his love: Unforsaking Love

wonder of his love: Unforsaking Love by ric Gustafson


Jesus was heartbroken at the Garden of Gethsemane. He was sorrowful to the point of death. He knew the unspeakable agony that was about to unfold. The worst thing was that he knew that his Father would forsake him. Jesus implored if there was any other way. He was bursting with pain. He was grieved with sorrow and his sweat was like drops of blood.
God heard his Son's cry and an angel was sent to minister to him. On the cross, God forsook his Son. Jesus was steeped in our sin and was drenched in our shame. God turned away from his Son and unleashed the fury of the ages on him. Jesus cried out ' My God My God why have you forsaken me".
And then it was finished. Jesus cried and gave up his spirit. At that moment, the cross became an instrument of peace. God will never forsake us because we are his children.
God will never forsake us. Praise God.
