‘To follow’ and then ‘to go’
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”-Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34
No passage of scripture affirms my faith in the power of the living God to know my soul more than this passage of abandonment. No one who has not lost a child can know that pain; no one who has not watched a beloved disappear into the fog of Alzheimer’s can know that helplessness; no one who has not felt forsaken by friends, by family, by church and by God can know that emptiness.
