A Daily Devotional When there is no one to talk to… (Part 4 of
5) Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which
means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (NIV) No one escapes the plague of loneliness. Not even Jesus escaped loneliness. If God did not know what being human was fully like before He sent Jesus into the world, the concept of human loneliness was probably a shock. If there is any one single reason for the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, the reason was likely so we would not be as lonely as we are. In our pursuit not to be lonely, there is Christ. He, too, was alone in His trauma. Just like us, Christ was alone when He needed someone to be with Him. Just like us, Christ needed someone with whom He could talk. When His walk upon the earth was over, Christ returned to the Father. However, Christ is still with us each minute in the form of the Holy Spirit. Our problem of not having anyone to talk to is solved if we talk to Jesus. Christ knows our every problem. Christ knows the problem of our aloneness and loneliness, for He lived as we live. Our ability to come to oneness with Christ helps us immensely in living each day free of loneliness. |
