1 | An Amazing Quote! | Matt 27:46 | Morant61 | 143183 | ||
Greetings All! Many have asked over the years if God had really forsaken Jesus! Not to diminish the agony the Jesus experienced, I wonder if the cry wasn't meant more to point people to Psalm 22 than as a cry of anguish on the part of Jesus. His cry is a partial quote of the opening verse of Psalm 22. This Psalm is an excellent example of the dual nature of some prophecy. David penned these words about himself, as a poetic description of what he was experiencing. Yet, we find that his words find even greater fulfillment in the death of Christ. Look at the amazing amount of detail concerning Christ's death that is provided in Psalm 22. Verse 6 talks about Him being scorned by men. Verse 7 talks about Him being mocked and insulted by men. The exact taunt of Ps. 22:8 is even found in Mt. 27:43. Verse 14 mentions the bones being out of joint, which did occur during a crucifixion. Does v. 15 remind anyone of the statement, ‘I thirst’? Of course, v. 15 also mentions His death. V. 16 tells us that evil men “…have pierced my hands and my feet”. V. 18 speaks of the dividing up and casting lots for His clothing. So, maybe, Christ’s cry was meant more to demonstrate to us that His death was not some accident, but part of God’s eternal plan. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | An Amazing Quote! | Matt 27:46 | kalos | 143192 | ||
God has not hidden his face from him [1] My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? ... [24] For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. Psalm 22:1,24 (ESV) Ps 22:1 'From the psalmist’s perspective it SEEMS that God has rejected him, for he fails to answer his cry for help (vv. 1b-2).' (Emphasis added.)

Greetings Kalos! Excellent point my friend! I noticed that verse after I had already posted. In college, I took a class called 'Praise and Lament in the Psalms'. Psalm 22 would fit the classification of a lament. In a lament, the author cries out over some injustice or perceived injustice. Often, the lament is over God's apparent failure to answer prayer. But, by the end of the lament, the author makes a confession of his trust in God and God's history of faithfulness. Of course, in relationship to Christ, it does show that God had not forsaken Him, even though it may have appeared that the Father had forsaken Him. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
