Isaiah 53: 1-7 Mark 15: 1-20 Mark 15: 25-46 (NIV)

When Jesus cried out on the cross, 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?') - it sounded like a desperate cry for help, and it was - but it was also the first line of Psalm 22, which prophesied Jesus' crucifixion in detail.  A psalm that begins with despair, but ends with tremendous hope.
