1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my help are the words of my groaning. 2 My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest.3 Yet You are holy, You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.4 In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You rescued them. 5 To You they cried out and they fled to safety;
In You they trusted and were not disappointed. 6 But I am a worm and not a person, A disgrace of mankind and despised by the people. 7 All who see me deride me; They sneer, they shake their heads, saying, 8 “Turn him over to the LORD; let Him save him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
Psalm 22:1-8
In Psalm 22, we see…………..
**Jesus forsaken (1-2)
**Jesus’ humiliation (6-7)
**Jesus’ suffering (14-16)
**Jesus’ degradation (17)
**Jesus’ humanity (18)
Jesus knows and understands our heartaches and sorrows. Our Savior is well aware of all that His people face here in this life. He knows because He has been here. Christ understands!
