                        4. Psalm 22: Introduction to Messianic Psalms

                          Scripture: Psalm 22

                          Psalm 22 offers a vivid portrait of the suffering righteous one—ultimately fulfilled in Jesus—who feels abandoned by God yet clings to faith. This messianic psalm not only foreshadows Christ’s crucifixion but also gives voice to our own anguish and trust amid trials. Through it, we learn that even in our deepest pain, God remains faithful and worthy of praise.
