Psalm 88 - The Loneliest Man Who Ever Lived

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen Psalm 88 is the darkest psalm in Scripture—ending not in praise but in a single word: "darkness." Why would God include such a hopeless text in His Word? Because it reveals what Christ endured for us. This Good Friday psalm shows us Gethsemane before Golgotha—the cup Jesus dreaded yet drank to the dregs. He absorbed infinite wrath so we would never taste it. He descended into ultimate darkness so we might dwell eternally in light. The psalm ends in darkness, but the gospel ends in light. Christ was abandoned so that we might be accepted forever.
