Psalm 22 - A window into Jesus's heart

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?  Why are you so far from saving me,<br/> so far from my cries of anguish? Psalms 22:1<br/><br/>Have you ever felt like God was so far away and you were on your own? Jesus understands that same feeling. During His crucifixion, He no longer felt God's presence, a presence He'd known since the womb! Psalm 22 is a view into what Jesus experienced from the inside. Charles Spurgeon writes, "This Psalm is a sort of window through which we can look into the heart of our crucified Savior. We see all the external part of the Crucifixion through the four windows of the Gospels, but this 22nd Psalm brings us into the King’s innermost chamber and here we perceive the secret sufferings of His soul. You can very well conceive of the Lord Jesus Christ, when He was on the Cross, beginning to speak in the language of the first verse of this Psalm and closing with the last words of the Psalm — "He has done this," which might properly be interpreted, "It is finished.""<br/><br/>Join me in reading Psalm 22 and be encouraged!<br/><br/> Just a Guy and His World
