How do we know Psalm 22 refers to Jesus on the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Psalm 22 contains specific prophecies and descriptions that align closely with the events of Jesus' crucifixion.

The connection between Psalm 22 and the crucifixion of Christ is established through fulfilled prophecies and detailed parallels in the narrative of Jesus' suffering. Verses within this psalm describe events such as the mocking of His enemies, the piercing of His hands and feet, and the unbroken nature of His body—all of which resonate with the Gospel accounts of the crucifixion. For instance, John 20:25 records Thomas’ declaration regarding the wounds in Jesus' hands and feet, which echoes Psalm 22:16. Such specific alignments showcase the divine orchestration of scripture fulfillment, affirming Psalm 22 as a prophetic description of Christ’s passion and highlighting the sovereign design behind God's salvation plan.
