Day 128

I found Psalm 22 very interesting. The title of the Psalm is "Why Have You Forsaken Me?" The first line in this Psalm is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

This right away brought me to the cross and Christ's last words before sacrificing Himself for us. But the parallelism does not stop there.

In verse 18, "...they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." Once again, this is what happened to Christ when He was crucified.

I find it interesting that several of the items in Psalm 22 come to be when Christ is crucified. I think it goes to show that Christ was forsaken by God so He could take the place of us. Thank you Lord for sacrificing yourself for me!
