Feb 18 – Psalm 22:14-18 –
David now
begins to list off some prophetic words.
He is seeing in the future. Many
see David as a king, warrior and composer of music. Yes David was multi-talented but he was also
a prophet. God showed Him things. In this psalm, he is poured out like water
and all his bones are out of joint. Job
said the same thing in Job 30:16. This
is how Jesus would be on the day of his death.
All his joints were out of place because of the beating He would
receive. His heart has melted like
wax. There is nothing left. Jesus would be like that as well.
In vs 15-16,
Jesus’ strength would be gone. His
tongue would stick to the roof of his mouth.
On the cross Jesus called for a drink.
They gave him vinegar wine.
. It would be the Lord that would
lay this all on the suffering servant.
Evil men would surround Him and they would pierce His hands and
feet. Jesus had that happen. Even today we can see the wounds on His hands
and feet. By His stripes we would be
healed. He was wounded for our
transgressions and bruised for our sins.
In vs 17-18,
Jesus could count all his bones, they were exposed by the whip and hanging on
the cross. They would divide His
garments and cast lots for His clothing.
All that happened to Jesus. David
was describing the crucifixion. It must
have broken David’s heart to see this.
His own descendant going through this.
What love, what a savior, what salvation. Jesus did all this for you and me today.
