King David lived and wrote this 1000 years before Jesus was crucified…if you don’t remember the narrative read this first-
”My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from my deliverance and from my words of groaning? Everyone who sees me mocks me; they sneer and shake their heads:
“He relies on the Lord; let him save him; let the Lord rescue him, since he takes pleasure in him.”
For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has closed in on me; they pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people look and stare at me. They divided my garments among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing.
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord. All the families of the nations will bow down before you…They will come and declare his righteousness; to a people yet to be born they will declare what he has done.“
Psalms 22:1, 7-8, 16-18, 27, 31 CSB
This passage was written more than 3,000 years ago about actual events that happened exactly the same way 2,000 years ago…recorded for us so that we can have confidence in Gods plan for our salvation.
I love that today is the day this landed on the calendar! Today is Good Friday, the day that Jesus died on the cross with so many of the details called out 1,000 years beforehand. I even love that this prophecy talks about me: “ They will come and declare His righteousness; to a people yet to be born they will declare what He has done.“I don’t deserve the love that God shows me, but I am so thankful for it!!!
