First Impressions: Logistics of Lent, Part 1

As I thought about what I might say, my mind turned to these two passages [listed above]. Forsakenness – that was something these men would know about. Their society had locked them up, abandoned them. True, they deserved it. But in a sense we all deserve something worse than being abandoned by our society. We have all turned away from God, whether actively and obviously, or through more passive neglect of God as we go about our lives. [Because of this,] we all deserve to be forsaken by God.[1] (Brackets mine.)
