“Eli Eli Lena sabachthani” Matthew 27:46 “It is one thing when our flesh cries out to the Lord, but our spirit!” Jesus of all person who said, “to see me is to see the Father, John 14:9. The Father and I are one, John 10:30. I have to asked this question, “what happens to a man that is so deep within his soul, that would cause him to feel like God would ever forsaken him?” It’s like sin itself was awaken to know it wrong to exist within man. With the life and death of Jesus, something has broken loose on the cross concerning sin in man and yet we are unable to recognize and embrace it. All we can say is, “it’s the blood, we plead the blood of Jesus!” The cross is the finishing of what had already started within us through Jesus.

Sin has devoured our strength in and with God. It possesses and take control with no mercy. It broke the connection between God and man a relationship like Adam the first man had with God before eating the forbidden fruit. Man had gotten stuck in the grasp of sin, then Jesus came and cut us loose. When Jesus called out on the cross these words that we ourselves must say, “ Father into thy hands I commit my spirit” Luke 23:46. Jesus was giving back to God what Adam had lost, his complete surrender to God and God alone, his entire being. Jesus was naked on the cross, unlike Adam and Eve, his concern wasn’t shame and hiding from God, but feeling like his Father has left him. Isn’t it a coincidence that Jesus the man felt abandoned by the Father and Adam the man was hiding from the Father. Something for man to think about.

I couldn’t help but believe that our consciousness and emotions has a lot to do with sin. My reason for coming to this conclusion is Jesus was emotional in the garden of Gethsamane and on the cross. When Adam sin the first thing that both him and Eve did was to show emotions by running and hiding from God and clothing themselves with leaf, because they realized they were naked, Genesis 3:7.

There’s nothing like grief and pain to throw you off your game. It controls the very essence of our being. Grief to me means to love intensely and Pain is the pinnacle of our emotions like height or level, the reason you’re asked on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is your pain? Grief and pain can cause a man to feel like God has forsaken them. It is the depth of emotions that allows us to cry out and feel like God has forsaken us. You can’t even begin to explain the intensity of emotions you’re feeling. The kind of cry that gets the attention of God. Heart and mind pain, emotions that connects flesh and the spirit.
