Continuing with yesterday's theme, we remember that Jesus' suffering demonstrated how horrific, how loathsome is our sin—in God's eyes, it is intolerably abhorrent—thus, Jesus' mournful cry in verse 46, “Why am I forsaken?” When we sin, we separate ourselves from God, forsaking His commands and His fellowship.
Oh, that we might better understand some of the horror of sin, and thus better avoid every manner of even the most “trivial” (in our eyes!) wrong-doings.
Prayer: Lord, I am a poor, miserable sinner. I am worthy only through Your grace, Your love, and Your sacrificial atonement for me. Fix my eyes on You, that I might not sin against You. I will praise You for my wonderful and abundant salvation! Thank You! Amen.
