DAY 130 Read Psalm 22; 25; 26; 28; 30.
Today's reading: The first psalm in this group contains some of the most remarkable of the Messianic predictions.
Memory gem: "Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper" (Psalm 30:10).
Thought for today:
Psalm 22:16: Remember, this was written a thousand years before our Saviour's crucifixion: "The assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet."
This chapter is so filled with the very words and expressions that our Saviour used upon the cross that it is called the Psalm of Sobs. And His hands and feet were pierced by nails as we read of the crucifixion in Luke 23:33.
Psalm 22:8: The people ridiculed Him and said: "He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him."
We read the fulfillment of this in Matthew 27:41-43.
In Psalm 22:17 we read that the people were astonished: "I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me."
The crowd stood about and gazed, as upon a great spectacle. Luke 23:23: "The people stood beholding."
Psalm 22:18: His garments were parted and lots cast. John 19:23, 24 describes this. The four soldier guards divided His garments, but when they came to His seamless robe, they cast lots for it rather than tear it, so what seemed to be antagonistic prophecies were fulfilled literally.
In Psalm 22:1 Christ's cry upon the cross is foretold: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
In Matthew 27:46 we have the record of the fulfillment.
Psalm 22:14 declares that Jesus died of a broken heart. Also Psalm 69:20: "Reproach hath broken my heart."
There are many other prophecies about Jesus that were literally fulfilled in His life and ministry on earth, His resurrection and ascension to heaven.
These prophecies with their fulfillment are enough to show that Jesus was the right Man. He was the Son of God; He came at the right time; He did the very things predicted. At least twenty-four prophecies were fulfilled in twenty-four hours on the day of His death.
