The Psalm on the CrossA Journey to the Heart of Jesus Through Psalm 22“My God. My God.

While the words depict the anguish of suffering, Jesus knew that the complete psalm was one of triumph and hope. The moment that began in darkness and despair eventually ends with a proclamation of confidence and victory.

What a thought provoking look at Psalm 22. Roseberry 's words gave me a deeper look and led me to think upon the last hours of Jesus in the cross. It deepened my awe and appreciation for what Christ has done for us all

An eye opening journey to the foot of the Cross.

A must read for any Christian who is beginning their walk with Jesus. Or, in my case, looking for a deeper understanding of the symbolism contained in the words of Psalm 22.

Deep dive into Psalm 22

I read it devotion ally over Lent. This is the Psalm Jesus references on the Cross because it is about him. Well-written and thought provoking.

Interesting.

[Aleece Stallings · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Despite these difficult circumstances, the psalmist (and thus, Jesus) remains confident in God’s faithfulness and trust in His ultimate deliverance.”

[Michael Hustead · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent look at a difficult, and often misunderstood, passage of scripture. I think it is especially relevant for our time. It was a joy to read, and a book that I will definitely come back to.

This was such a great study for Lent! It now seems so obvious, but I had no idea of the prophesy of Psalm 22 1000 years before the crucifixion of Christ. The verses were divided into manageable chapters that each opened my eyes to the final hours of Jesus' life.

Beautiful, Thoughtful, contemplative. A guide through psalm 22 as a prophetic and hope filled journey with Jesus to the cross. Easy to read, short chapters, questions at each chapter to journal through, and so much rich truth! Perfect lent companion.
