Matthew 27: 45-47 Why Did God Forsake Jesus?
Intro: Muslims use the argument all the time….How can Jesus pray to Himself? How can Jesus be God and be in control of the universe at the same time? How can God forsake Himself? First of all let’s get one thing straight…..Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Genesis 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord? Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible. God can do anything He wants to. He is all powerful, all knowing and all Love.
But…….He does everything for a purpose, and He is a God of order not chaos. Everything He does makes perfect sense. He made all of life…two sided and three dimensional. We have a right and left side. Even worms have two sides. We have body, soul and spirit. We have earth and water. We have the sky, space and heaven. We have the sun we see up in the sky, the sun we feel from the heat it produces and the sun we see from its light.
Now animals only have two dimensions. Body and instinct. Domesticated animals have body and soul. They have a personality. But animals don’t have an eternal spirit. Will animals be in heaven? Absolutely. We will be riding white horses when we return with Christ. Will your pets be in heaven? I believe so. Not the same pet here on earth but maybe a recreated pet exactly like your earthly pet.
But humans have all three….body, soul and spirit. We are three but separate. And soul and spirit can live independently of a body. My body talks to my soul all the time. This hurts….I’m hungry. My spirit is the eternal part of me…..where God speaks to me…..It leads me away from God until it is born again and redeemed by Christ. My soul is my personality, the essence of me, the real me…. that part of me that operates my brain. But there is more to this question..
