Forsaken (Psalm 22)

from The Gateway Church Hosted by Dominic Jackson

Pastor Dominic Jackson returns to the Psalms by way of Good Friday, asking one of the hardest questions in the gospel story: why did Jesus cry out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" After working through five common explanations for the cry of dereliction, Dominic opens Psalm 22 to show that Jesus wasn't voicing abandonment but quoting the first line of a psalm that foretells his crucifixion in striking detail and ends in triumph. The cross, he argues, is not a picture of God at war with himself, but God at war with sin, death, and evil — and on the cross, Jesus wasn't asking a question. He was declaring victory.
