And through that, because we know that Jesus empathizes with us, that allows us to come to the throne of God with more grace and more confidence and more mercy, because we know that the problems that we're going through is not just singular and felt only exclusively by us alone, but we get to share an empathy with God because he has sent his one and only son to go through the same exact struggles and sufferings that we're enduring right now.

So go in confidence knowing that when you come before the throne of God, that he's empathizing in that same situation of your loneliness, of your singleness, of abandonment and betrayal that you're experiencing. And Jesus has been abandoned by people that he loved, whether it was friends or his disciples or let alone his own father.

And so I just kind of want to highlight where Jesus has been abandoned, where we can find our hearts in him and where we can allow him to help us and him to be the one who sticks around and empathizes in all the great things. And so every time I get in a really tricky spot, I always go back to two places. I'll go back to the garden or I'll go back to the crucifixion.

And so every time I get in a really tricky spot, I always go back to two places. I'll go back to the garden or I'll go back to the crucifixion.
I was reading the crucifixion and we get to the part in Mark 15, 35, where it says, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And I read that verse and I actually asked the question, God, why did you forsake Jesus? Like, why did you do that? Because you didn't have to leave Jesus, but you did.

But the Lord showed me, but yes, Emmy, I did have to leave Jesus because what happened in this moment is as Jesus is crying out on the cross to God, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? He did exactly what John 3, 16 through 17 says. He has endured all the sins of the entire world. For God to love the world, he gave his one and only son to take on the sins of the whole entire world.

So the reason as to why God left Jesus in that moment was because Jesus was enduring all sin on the behalf of the entire world. And sin is what separates us from God. So Jesus had to endure abandonment from God because that is the consequence of sin ultimately.

And the reason that's why God allowed that to happen, it wasn't because God actually wanted to abandon Jesus, but because God had to abandon Jesus because of the sin of which he was enduring. And God understood the bigger picture of what was being carried out. God abandoned Jesus just for a moment, So he could never abandon us for all of eternity. Let me say that one more time. God left Jesus.

God abandoned Jesus for one moment so he could be united with us for all of eternity. And so Jesus quite literally experienced the full abandonment of God. And the reason as to why Jesus went through and endured that suffering and pain is because Jesus understood that the cup of suffering that he took was for the greater good of God's creation and not just for himself.

Romans 5.8, while we were still sinners, Christ still died for us. Even at the worst of your sin, God still died. God still sent his one and only son to die for you. God doesn't forsake you for your sin because Jesus was already forsaken. If you embrace the cross, if you embrace what Jesus has done for you, God will not forsake you.

It reminds me of what he was telling Joshua as he's, as God is instructing him to carry the Israelites into the He says, do not be afraid. I will not forsake you. I will not abandon you. Instead, meditate on my word day and night. It's knowing that when you stay in the heart of the Father, he will not leave you or forsake you.
