Previous Daily Devotional I know someone who is having a crisis. With his encouragement, I am using his crisis to help others. 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 it. If God did not know what it was fully like to be human before He became Jesus, the concept of loneliness was probably a shock. If there is any one single reason for the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, that reason was so that 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 and someone to talk to. When His walk upon the earth was done, Christ returned to the Father but He 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 Him. He knows our every problem, especially the problem of our aloneness and our loneliness, for He lived as we live. Our ability to come to a oneness with Him helps us immensely in living each day free of loneliness. |
