Psalm 22: From Forsaken To Answered

What this episode covers

Psalm 22 describes Jesus' suffering during crucifixion after Jesus has been hanging on the cross for some time and is nearing death. Darkness overcame Jesus near the end when He took on our sin and God turned His face away. When we have sin, God does not hear our prayers. What Jesus experienced is the condition of men who cling to their sin. Your sin has separated you from the Father completely. No one can come to the Father except... When you cling to your sin, God does not hear you, won't look upon you, does not consider you, for He has forsaken you. Vs 3 But God is holy and we have to come to Him on His terms. If He is not your king, He is nothing to you. He cannot be a side king. Vs 5 Trust in the Lord removes shame. Those who feel no shame over their sin are far from God and are forsaken. Man already are inhumane toward other men. Vs 6 I am a worm (less than a man) in their eyes. Despised. We start forsaken. But as we humble ourselves, repent, and trust, He answers us. Vs 21 Not only does God now hear you, but He answers you.
