The Christian is never alone,but as regards human companionship we can be alone,human companionship is important,God said it is not good for man to be alone Gen2 v18.We need human companionship ,but it is not always so.But the good news is God is always with us,from the moment you are a Christian God the Holy Spirit dwells within us, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. ( 1 Cor 6 v19) So we are alone but not alone,it must have very painful for our Lord when his disciples left him.It reminds us what is written in Hebrews 4 v14ff of Jesus our great high priest.'For we do not have a high priest who is unable to feel sympathy for our weaknesses,but we have one who has been tempted in every way,just as we are- yet he did not sin'.Also remember his cry of desolation, 'My God, my God,why have you forsken me?'(Mark 15 v 34,these words are a fulfillment of Psalm 22 v1We understand that Christ was a man but in his humanity he endured the forsakeness we merit because of our sin.So he knows what the depth of lonliness feels like. so when we come to him in our lonliness,he understands how we feel , Our Saviour and great high priest will grant us in his mercy the grace we need in our times of lonliness. (Hebrews 4 vc16)
