Psalm 22 prophetically describes the scorn and mockery faced by Christ, emphasizing the deep suffering He endured.
Psalm 22 vividly portrays the derision faced by the Messiah during His crucifixion, illustrating the prophetic words echoed by Christ Himself on the cross: 'My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?' This Psalm captures the intense mockery He received not only from the Jewish leaders but also from the crowd and even one of the criminals crucified alongside Him. In essence, it reveals the depth of human depravity and how those who should have recognized His innocence instead joined in the mockery, fulfilling the prophetic declaration that the Messiah would be scorned and rejected by His own people.
