How do we know Christ endured trials like David?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament affirms that Jesus faced trials among wicked people, likening His experience to that of David amidst lions.

The connection between David's trials and those of Jesus Christ is deeply rooted in scripture. Just as David spoke of being surrounded by lions in Psalm 57, Jesus experienced intense opposition from Pharisees and rulers who sought to destroy Him. Matthew 27 recounts the mocking and brutality He faced, emphasizing that He was scorned by those symbolically represented as lions. Moreover, Psalm 22 references the roaring of lions as they surrounded Him during His crucifixion. Christ's endurance through these trials illustrates His sinlessness and God’s sovereign plan in redemption, showing that while He was among lions, He triumphed over sin and death, securing salvation for His people.
