Today we remember Jesus' suffering and death. Psalm 22 was written by King David nearly a thousand years before his Greater Son walked the earth. Jesus will cry out these agonizing words on the cross “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1). The first half of the Psalm records in gruesome detail a horrifying death. What prophetic foresight: just read vv. 6-8, 12-18! The prophet Isaiah tells us that ‘... he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). The second part of Psalm 22 anticipates new life....glimpses of resurrection and beyond. As we look at the cross, and reflect on our great need to be saved, we are assured of the immense depth of God’s love for each and every one of us. We can almost sense an Easter glimpse on the horizon.... and we rejoice that ‘...he has done it’! (Psalm 22:31).

Om onze zonden werd hij doorboord, om onze wandaden gebroken. Voor ons welzijn werd hij getuchtigd, zijn striemen brachten ons genezing. Jesaja 53:5
