Psa 22:1-2, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME? WHY ARE YOU SO FAR FROM HELPING ME, AND FROM THE WORDS OF MY GROANING? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.
David indeed felt abandoned by GOD, yet these are the same words JESUS used on the cross of calvary! WE MAY NEVER FULLY UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD THE FATHER AND GOD THE SON, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ETERNITY THE FATHER TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS OWN SON!
2Co 5:21, FOR HE MADE HIM WHO KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, THAT WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.
HE put on HIMSELF the sins of all mankind, and took the punishment, that was clearly meant for us, upon HIMSELF! The heavenly FATHER with his pure eye could no longer see his only begotten SON hanging on the cross!
Hab 1:13, YOU ARE OF PURER EYES THAN TO BEHOLD EVIL, AND CANNOT LOOK ON WICKEDNESS….
Psa 22:6-8, BUT I AM A WORM, AND NO MAN; A REPROACH OF MEN, AND DESPISED BY THE PEOPLE. ALL THOSE WHO SEE ME RIDICULE ME; They shoot out the lip, THEY SHAKE THE HEAD, saying, “HE TRUSTED IN THE LORD, LET HIM RESCUE HIM; LET HIM DELIVER HIM, SINCE HE DELIGHTS IN HIM!”
THE LORD JESUS, HUMBLED HIMSELF FROM THE “I AM” IN EXODUS TO “I AM A WORM”! HE HEALED THE SICK, HE RAISED THE DEAD, HE MADE THE BLIND SEE AND THE DEAF HEAR AND WE CRUCIFIED HIM WITH OUR SINS!
Heb 1:8, But to the Son He says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM.
JESUS SET ASIDE HIS GLORY, HONOR AND RIGTHEOUSNESS TO SAVE THE LOST! FOR WE WERE LOST IN OUR SINS, YET HE PURGE OUR SINS FROM US! IT IS BECAUSE OF OUR SINS THAT HE WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS!
Psa 22:16, For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET;
Dan 9:26, ..MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF;
IT WAS FOR YOU THAT HE WAS CUT OFF!
