Psalm 22: The Prophesied Words of Christ

Aug 30, 2025    Nathan Smalley

In this episode, we explore Psalm 22 as a prophetic window into the crucifixion of Jesus Christ—written 1,000 years before the event. David, through divine inspiration, records the very words Christ would cry from the Cross: “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” We examine this fourth statement of Jesus, spoken during the supernatural darkness that covered the earth as He bore God’s wrath for our sin. Why was the sinless Son forsaken? To accomplish the atonement that would reconcile us to God. Psalm 22 moves from abandonment to victory, showing us that Christ’s suffering was not defeat, but fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Join us as we reflect on the love, purpose, and eternal hope revealed through the Cross.
