Psalm 22 prophetically portrays Christ’s suffering on the cross a thousand years before it occurred. David describes the anguish Jesus would endure—His cry of abandonment, His pierced hands and feet, the mockery of onlookers, and soldiers casting lots for His clothing. Yet amid this agony shines divine purpose: the scarlet blood that stained the cross became the payment for humanity’s sin. The psalm that begins with despair ends triumphantly—“He has done it”—anticipating Christ’s final words, “It is finished.” Through His completed work, Jesus secured eternal redemption for all who trust in Him.
