讀經：馬太福音第二十七章。
默想：「我的神！我的神！為什麼離棄我？」（太27:46b)
默想一：耶穌是神，祂為什麼被釘在十字架？而且被釘在十字架上時大聲喊叫「我的神！我的神！為什麼離棄我？」因為在那時刻裡，整個世界的罪都壓在祂身心上。耶穌沒有罪，卻親自替我們承擔了一切罪，造成祂與父神之間的分隔。耶穌為我們的罪忍受孤單、冷落、丟棄的痛苦，這一切都是為了拯救世人包括你我。
默想二：你曾遇到大難而大叫「為什麼？」嗎？主耶穌經歷過，因此祂了解你。此時此刻，你需要來到了解你並明白整個事件的阿爸父神面前，向祂傾心吐意。祂必定為你開路，也願意扶助你、牽引你，幫你擦乾眼淚。要尋求幫助，必須找對真正的幫助者。
禱告：阿爸父神，讚美祢在基督裡所彰顯的大愛。在世上有許多我不明瞭的事，但我相信袮的應許：「到我這裡來的，我總不丟棄他。」（約6:37）無論遇到任何事，求祢安靜我心，讓我不問「主，為什麼？」而是問「主，袮要我學習什麼？」我願全然降服於袮。奉耶穌基督的名禱告。阿們！
Bible Reading: Matthew 27.
Insight: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mat 27:46b)
Insight one: Jesus is God, why was He crucified? And when He was crucified, He cried out loudly, “My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?” Because at that moment, the sin of the entire world rested on His body and mind. Jesus has no sin, but He Himself has borne all sins for us, causing the separation between Him and God the Father. For our sins, Jesus endured the pain of loneliness, ignoring, and abandonment, all for the purpose of saving the world, including you and me.
Meditate two: Have you ever cried out loudly “Why”? The Lord Jesus has experienced that, so He understands you. At those moments, you need to come to Abba Father Who knows you and understands the whole event, and pour out everything to Him. He will definitely open a way for you, and He will help you, lead you, and wipe away every tear from you. To find help, you must find the right helper.
Prayer: Abba Father, praise the great love that You have manifested in Christ. There are many things in this world that I do not understand, but I trust Your promise: “whoever comes to me I will never drive away” (Joh 6:37). No matter what will happen, please calm down my heart, and let me not ask “Lord, why?” but ask “Lord, what do you want me to learn”? I want to surrender to You completely. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
