Psalm 22 on the
Nature of His Execution
Why did Jesus cry out from the cross:
n
ÒMy God, my God, why have you abandoned me?Ó
He was quoting Psalm 22; it tells of one:
n
Abandoned by God
n
Surrounded by enemies
n
Hands and feet pierced
n
Clothes gambled away
n
Thirsty
n
Bones out of joint
n
Laid in the dust of death
This describes crucifixion before it existed,
and JesusÕ crucifixion in particular!
