I posted this a couple years ago. Updated. I want to share a cool thing with you. A few people know that Psalm 22 is a description of the crucifixion of Jesus that was written hundreds of years before the event. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Many Christians have been taught that, as He was crucified, Jesus was crying this out out to His Father in heaven, because the Father could not bear to look on Jesus, our scapegoat. Give me a break. << 1 Corinthians 12:3 >> Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed. Jesus and the Father had this worked out since before the universe was created, and at the last minute The All-Powerful Ruler of More than the Universe flinches? No. Here He is, lifted up in front of them. He's surrounded by "strong bulls" (prison slang for guards), and the crowd is taunting Him. It's the scene predicted in Psalm 22 . Then He quotes the first verse. And they know the rest. Can you imagine the look on their face when they get it? |
