Christ Ends The Grief Of Separation
As a result of their disobedience, Adam and Eve experienced a traumatic separation from God. Their oneness with God was literally ripped from the fabric of their being. The grief and sorrow of being devoid of the presence of God was very real to Adam and Eve. To this day, mankind continues to live in futility and in physical and spiritual sickness as a result of our separation from the Father. Christ never experienced separation from the Father until His dying moment on the cross when He cried out with a loud voice, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46). Isaiah 53:4 says: Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried. On the cross, Christ not only carried our sin, but He bore the traumatic, deep grief and sorrow of being separated from the Father. It is time for us to be rid of the grief, the separation, and the absence of the presence of God. In Christ, we are restored to living in the Father’s presence with the Spirit of God indwelling us, bringing life to our mortal bodies. It is time for us to appropriate all that Christ died for. It is time for the Lamb of God to receive the reward of His suffering that we should no longer live separated from our Father.
