Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Thank you for the grace you have shown me as I have been away for a moment. Sometimes, family, school, and health require more of me than usual, and I have to give them my full attention. As the young people say, “Life was lifing.” I am grateful that all in my house are now well and in good health.

This week’s devotional is inspired by a song from Annatoria entitled Hark, Now Hear.

The song gives a timeline of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In the church, depending on what time or season of the year it is, we highlight different aspects of Jesus’s earthly ministry. It is easy to remember the beauty of him as a baby or the incredible teacher and healer he was during his earthly ministry. What we must remember above all else is that Jesus came to be a sacrifice.

The climax of Jesus’s earthly ministry occurred while he was hanging on the cross with the FULL WEIGHT of OUR SINS upon him. He cried out:

Psalm 22:1/ Matthew 27:46 / Mark 15:34

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”, are recorded in Hebrew as “אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי” (Elī Elī, lāmā ‘azabtānī) and mean “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?

In that moment, he was separated from the Father because of our sin. In that moment, the world grew silent…

This is the reason he willingly came down from heaven, took the form of a human, walked the earth teaching, healing, and showing mercy and love. His greatest love letter to us was from the cross.

Oh what a day…on the third day, after he died he got up with ALL POWER IN HIS HANDS.

So when I sing this song by Annatoria, I am remembering and telling the Lord, Thank you for all you have done.
