All The Difference

It is breathtaking to conceive that Jesus, the second Person of the Triune God, would chose to isolate Himself. At least to some degree, and especially while on the cross, He chose to be cut off from the godhead. Further, he was "a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief," giving up his prestige and position for the isolation of pain. This isolation is very instructive for us, as isolation is a given in the fallen human condition. In the midst of that common sense of isolation, Jesus shows us the brilliance of unity.
