The Psalm of the Cross - Audio

In two weeks, we celebrate the heart of Christianity: the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. It is a stunning event, that none of us would have planned that way. Seemingly, an out-of-control moment for an all-powerful God. So that we could see that this was His plan and purpose He told us in advance what it would look like. Psalm 22 was written between 1000-970 B.C. It is not for another 300 years that crucifixion will be invented by the Assyrians. The Romans perfected and would use it on Jesus in 33 A.D. 1000 years after Psalm 22 is written and it reads like David was standing at the foot of the cross. There is another passage like this, Isaiah 53. It is these that show us, it takes more work to not believe, than to believe. We are going to spend 3 weeks in Psalm 22, the most quoted Psalm in the New Testament, 24 times.
