Why read as if Jesus talks? Jan. 26

 

Can you hear Jesus’s voice while on the Cross?

“Out of the depths I cry to you oh Lord! O Lord, hear my voice!”

“Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!”

[Psalm 130]

It is the same as “Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani?” My God, My God why have you abandoned Me?” [Mt.27:45]

He is saying it for us, he is feeling it for us. He holds the pain for us.

Every word of scripture, every word of Jesus, every word of the Holy Spirit becomes flesh.

“In the beginning was the word and the word was made flesh.”

Do you sometimes feel abandoned? Let scripture read you. Feel the words of Jesus when you read and pray.
