Feel Forsaken?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who feel forsaken. In Jesus name, amen.
God’s word offers a great deal of “foreshowing.” Old Testament words take on greater significance when considered in light of the New Testament, Christian context.
Imagine Christ’s death on the cross.
Psalm 22:1 and Matthew 27:46 (ESV) are the same:
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Psalm 22:2-3 (ESV) continues:
“Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.”
Consider this: When Christ was in the wilderness being tested, Jesus quoted Scripture. He does the same thing with his dying breath.
