Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • For twelve days Jesus has stopped everything with a word, and here he does not stop this. What does it tell you about God that he chose to stay?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • Jesus cries out, "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Is it all right to say something like that to God?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • Where do you need to hold on this week instead of getting out of it? Who will help you?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • The first person to say "this really was God's Son" was a soldier who watched him die. Who could you tell what you saw today?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, you could have come down and you stayed. You were not weak that day — you were holding on, for me. Thank you. I do not understand it, and I am glad.
