Can you imagine not being able to feel the presence of God and feeling abandonment? The story of the crucifixion always has me in tears because I can’t ever comprehend just the amount of love this act took. I cry every time I get to the verse Matthew 27:46 when Jesus cries out saying My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Jesus in this moment is having to go through the agony of separation from God because He is carrying the sins of the world through His sacrifice. I never want to take for granted the pain and suffering that Jesus went through for me. Because of His great act of love for us we are given the gift of salvation if we put our trust and faith in Jesus Christ. Each and every one of you are given the opportunity to live eternally in Heaven with the Father. The alternative is eternal separation and eternity in hell. Don’t let this gift pass you by.
