Title: Pain & Praise (5)
Series: Summer in the Psalms
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Psalm 22
- Have you ever felt completely alone? Abandoned? Have you ever felt like people were rooting for your demise? Their punchline?
- We have all suffered in different ways, at different times, and to different degrees.
- God can and does use suffering ... He shapes us, molds us.God can work in our hearts and lives even amidst suffering.
- We need to know and realize that just because we suffer, or feel alone ... doesn't mean God has cast us off. IF you are in Christ, you are NEVER ALONE.
- The truth is for us ... we know there is one who suffered FOR US. - Christ suffered in our place ... and His suffering transforms us ... and our suffering and perspective of it.
- Psalm 22 is a well-known psalm. It is quoted multiple times in the NT. - Some group Psalm 22, 23, and 24 together. - Psalm 22 points us to Christ the Suffering Savior, Psalm 23 to Christ the Shepherd, and Psalm 24, to Christ the Sovereign King.
- It would seem in Psalm 22 you have a DUAL APPLICATION.
- David in his own way lived this. (Some don't believe this, they believe it's straight prophecy of someone other than David.) (Some: Poetic/hyperbolic expression for David.)
- But we must see ... Christ lived this. - This Psalm does point us past David to Christ. - Christ suffered on the cross for sinners and this Psalm is utilized in the NT.
- I want us to see today ... Suffering is common to man. David suffered, we suffer. But Christ suffered uniquely. He suffered for our sins, to bring us to God. - His suffering can transform us, and bring us hope even in our suffering.
Psalm 22:1-31 - 1My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 4 In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, a ...
