One Man's Response to The Passion of the Christ
Over at Joshua Claybourn's Domain, Clayborn's devotional on his reaction to viewing the Passion:
Out of this silent loneliness - an unfathomable loneliness - He cries, "Why? Why did you foresake me?". . .There's something very human about His cry. It's a constant reminder to me that God did not just take on human flesh for 33 years. Rather, Jesus was fully human, separated from the trinity and experiencing pain alone, abandoned. At some point we all cry out "Why God?" The answers will not always come when we want them, we may still hurt, we may still thirst. But Christ was also alone, and He too cried out. We are not alone. God understands.
