Verse and prayer for the day:
About three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
Matthew 27:46
In the shadow of the cross, amidst the scorn and agony, Jesus, our Savior, faced the unspeakable. His flesh was torn, His spirit burdened, and His heart heavy with the weight of the world's sins. In the depths of His suffering, He sought comfort from His Father, the One who had sent Him on this sacred mission of redemption. Yet, in this dire moment, the response from the heavens was a profound silence.
This silence was not a mark of abandonment, nor a sign of a Father's indifference. It was a holy pause in the divine narrative, a testament to the gravity of the sacrifice being made. The silence spoke volumes of a love so pure and a plan so perfect that it required the Son to endure separation so that we might never have to. Christ, in His infinite wisdom and boundless love, did not waver, did not doubt. He embraced the silence, knowing it was a crucial chapter in the story of our salvation.
Just as Jesus trusted in the silence, we too are called to hold firm in our faith when God's voice seems distant. In the quiet, in the moments where we search for answers and hear nothing in return, God is still present, still working. His silence is not a void but a space for us to grow in trust and to cling to the promises written in His Word.
Let us remember that the God who was silent on the day of crucifixion is the same God who rolled away the stone from the tomb. In His silence, there is a divine purpose, and in His time, all will be revealed. So let us take heart and trust in the silent work of our Sovereign Lord, for even in the quiet, His love for us speaks louder than words.
