In the most general sense, Psalm 22 is about a person who is crying out to God to save him from the taunts and torments of his enemies, and (in the last ten verses) thanking God for rescuing him.
Should we give thanks in ALL things?
Jesus was tortured, ridiculed and hung on a cross! Yet, He spoke saying:
Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide His garments.”
Here is the epitome of forgiveness; forgiving others who are in the process of murdering Him. What greater model of forgiveness than to forgive them who were crucifying Him, He who was completely innocent. When they cast lots to divide His garments, this was the fulfillment of the prophecy about Christ from David in Psalm 22:18 “they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots” which was written hundreds of years before the cross.
Prophesies! Amen. We have prophecies in this day and age! What are prophecies? A foresight!
Thank you Sis! God be praised.
Beautiful thoughts! 🙂 God Bless
