Pilgrim Portions - 12

 
On the cross hung the one spotless, blessed Man, yet forsaken of God. What a fact before the world! No wonder the sun was darkened-the central and splendid witness to God's glory in nature, when the Faithful and True Witness cried to His God and was not heard. Forsaken of God! What does this mean? What part have I in the cross? One single part my sins ... . It baffles thought, that most solemn lonely hour which stands aloof from all before or after.
