Primary Scripture: Psalm 22
Big Idea: Looking ahead with hope, Jesus suffered in our place for our sin.
Message Focus: David lamented the abuse he received from his enemies. Jesus quoted the opening words of Psalm 22 while He was hanging on the cross. Psalm 22 includes details that are also recorded in the Gospels: hurling insults, people saying, “let the Lord rescue him”, casting lots for garments, and more. This is an opportunity to put forward one of the primary reasons for Jesus’ birth, life, and ministry on earth: His death and resurrection.
Prompting Questions: Why did Jesus have to die for us? How might God use my life to help other people come to faith in Jesus as well?
Cross References: Isaiah 53:7-8; Luke 2:22-35; John 19:16-37; Acts 3:17-20; Hebrews 12:1-3
