11. Saying, God hath forsaken him. O bitter
taunt! There is no worse. Our Lord felt this, and it is no wonder if his
disciples feel the same. Were this exclamation the truth, it were indeed an ill
day for us; but, glory be to God, it is a barefaced lie. Persecute and take him. Let loose the dogs of persecution upon him, seize him, worry him, for there is none to deliver him. Down with him, for he has no friends. It is
safe to insult him, for none will come to his rescue. O cowardly boasts of a
braggart foe, how you wound the soul of the believer. Only when his faith cries
to his Lord is he able to endure.
