The One who prayed, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me” came forth from the cross and tomb in victorious resurrection glory. We are people of the resurrection. The cross does not have the final word; the tomb in not our final prison. We may feel forsaken, but the reality is — He has promised that “I will never leave you nor forsake you’ (Hebrews 13:5b). In Christ our victory is assured; in Him we always come forth from the dead place to the live place and from the dark place to where the Son-Light shines. Never give up!
“I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!” Philippians 3:10-11 (NLT)
