The Psalm of Christ's Suffering (Psalm 22)
A prophetic portrait of Jesus on the cross
What does the cross of Christ look like from heaven’s perspective? Psalm 22 gives us an extraordinary prophetic glimpse—a thousand years before Jesus was born.
This psalm is sacred ground. It begins with the words Jesus cried from the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The vivid imagery in this psalm includes mockery from enemies, physical agony, and even the soldiers casting lots for His clothing—details fulfilled precisely at the crucifixion.
Psalm 22 is not just about pain; it’s about purpose. Jesus was forsaken so you never have to be. He was pierced so your sins could be forgiven. And the final words of this psalm—“He has done it”—point directly to Christ’s declaration: “It is finished.”
In this episode, you’ll trace the suffering of Jesus and the hope it brings to your heart today. This is more than a historical reflection—it’s a personal invitation. Discover how the promises of Psalm 22 can change your eternity. Jesus’ work on the cross is complete. Your part is to trust in Him.
