I like what Adrian Rogers said about Jesus "quoting" the Psalms. Rogers said that, "Jesus was not quoting David. Rather, David was looking ahead, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, quoting JESUS!"
Thank you Pastor John P. During the days of Jesus life on Earth,he offered Up Prayers and petition with loud cries and tears To the one who could Save him from Death,and he was heard because of his Reverent Submission! Hebrew 5;7 Amen.
Psalm 28:1 To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Psalm 28:8-9 The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Piper's words here, "Second, the why, it seems to me, is not a question looking for an answer, but a way of expressing the horrors of abandonment." It is a truly horrifying thought to be left alone, but not alone as if not having fellowship as much as being alone with myself. The horror of myself. I was reminded of the 'grey town' in "The Great Divorce" where people couldn't stand to be near their neighbors but also were railing about poxy things while alone. This song by Supertramp, (maybe an unlikely source) gets across a bit of the meaning (although I've no idea if it was the meaning intended by the writers of the song). "Don't Leave Me Now - SUPERTRAMP (Lyrics)" the last three stanzas, Don't leave me now All alone on this darkest night Feeling old and cold and grey Don't leave me now Oh-oh-oh oh Oh don't leave me now Leave me holding an empty heart As the curtain starts to fall Don't leave me now Oh don't leave me now All alone in this crazy world When I'm old and cold and grey And time is gone Oh-oh-oh oh
Psalm 22, which gave so many prophetic indications of the Messiah’s experiences, begins: “My God, my God, why have you left me?” Hence, when Jesus cried out as he did, he was adding to the record of prophecies that he fulfilled.-Luke 24:44. The psalmist did not believe that his God had simply rejected or abandoned him, for David went on to say that he would ‘declare God’s name to his brothers,’ and he urged others to praise Jehovah. (Psalm 22:22, 23) Similarly, Jesus, who knew Psalm 22 well, also had reason for confidence that his Father still approved of him and loved him, despite what God allowed him to experience on the stake.
As John Piper notes, Psalm 22 has a number of connections with the circumstances surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. In fact, this might be the Psalm that does this more than any other. In any case, it makes sense that Jesus would want to quote this Psalm when he was on the cross. So because the Psalm itself has a question, 'My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?', if Jesus was going to quote this Psalm to express his sense of being abandoned, he really had no choice but to use a question. Otherwise it wouldn't be a proper quotation. And as Piper also notes, just because a question is being used, it doesn't have to mean that the question is genuinely seeking an answer. Even in our culture, we have what are known as rhetorical questions, which don't seek an answer.
"Jesus seems to have known that the psalm was about him..." 2:30 "Seems to have known what the psalm was about..." Jehovah'shua (Jesus) wrote the Psalm. Before the foundation of the world.

Our son needed to be paid for. In the Old Testament, they used to offer sacrifices for atonements for sins. But they were only temporary. Christ died once, and for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God. So Jesus is death paid for every sin of his people, every past sin, every current sin during the time Jesus was alive, and every future sin. So God chose that because it fits with his plan to deal with the payment of sins from the Old Testament in a perfect way that will last forever And fully satisfy his wrath in a just way
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us-for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”- Galatians 3:13

Piper's words here, "Second, the why, it seems to me, is not a question looking for an answer, but a way of expressing the horrors of abandonment."
It is a truly horrifying thought to be left alone, but not alone as if not having fellowship as much as being alone with myself. The horror of myself. I was reminded of the 'grey town' in "The Great Divorce" where people couldn't stand to be near their neighbors but also were railing about poxy things while alone.
This song by Supertramp, (maybe an unlikely source) gets across a bit of the meaning (although I've no idea if it was the meaning intended by the writers of the song).
"Don't Leave Me Now - SUPERTRAMP (Lyrics)"
the last three stanzas,
Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don't leave me now
Oh-oh-oh oh
Oh don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now
Oh don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old and cold and grey
And time is gone
Oh-oh-oh oh
❤Thank you❤
Psalm 22, which gave so many prophetic indications of the Messiah’s experiences, begins: “My God, my God, why have you left me?” Hence, when Jesus cried out as he did, he was adding to the record of prophecies that he fulfilled.-Luke 24:44.
The psalmist did not believe that his God had simply rejected or abandoned him, for David went on to say that he would ‘declare God’s name to his brothers,’ and he urged others to praise Jehovah. (Psalm 22:22, 23)
Similarly, Jesus, who knew Psalm 22 well, also had reason for confidence that his Father still approved of him and loved him, despite what God allowed him to experience on the stake.
As John Piper notes, Psalm 22 has a number of connections with the circumstances surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. In fact, this might be the Psalm that does this more than any other. In any case, it makes sense that Jesus would want to quote this Psalm when he was on the cross.
So because the Psalm itself has a question, 'My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?', if Jesus was going to quote this Psalm to express his sense of being abandoned, he really had no choice but to use a question. Otherwise it wouldn't be a proper quotation.
And as Piper also notes, just because a question is being used, it doesn't have to mean that the question is genuinely seeking an answer. Even in our culture, we have what are known as rhetorical questions, which don't seek an answer.
Interesting. what do you mean "railing about poxy things" ?
Thanks

came to the place of which God (😊100%❤)
had told him, Abraham😊❤ built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knift to slaughter his son
11 But the angel😊❤ of the LORD 😊❤ called to him from heaven and said, " Abraham😊❤, Abraham😊❤! "
And he said, " Here I am."
12 He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for( because) now I know that you fear ( good type of fear)
God😊100%❤, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son( Isaac😊❤), from me."
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham😊❤
went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son(Isaac😊❤).
14 So Abraham😊❤ called the name of that place, " The LORD😊❤ will provide,"; as it is said to this day,
" On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided."
15 And the angel😊❤ of the LORD😊❤( means the Lord's angel😊❤) called to Abraham😊❤ a second time from heaven
16 and said,
" By myseld I have sworn, declares the LORD(😊❤), because you have done this and have not withheld you son, your only son,
17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possws the gates of his enemies,
18 and in your offspring shall
all the nations
on the earth be blessed😊❤, because you have obeyed😊❤
my voice😊❤."
19 So Abraham😊❤ returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham😊❤ lived at Beersheba.
20 Now after these things it was told to Abraham😊❤,
" Behold, Micah also has born children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz his firstborn,
Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
23 ( Bethuel fathered Rebekah( Isaac's future wife ) ).
These eight Micah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Raumah, bore Tabah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah."( Genessis 22:9-24 ESV. Now in the New Testament today we in Christ only have one wife in Christ.in Jesus'name, i pray(Hebrews 12:2

I was thinking today why did Christ have to die on a cross? Not some other way. Maybe this will give me an answer to that question.
Our son needed to be paid for. In the Old Testament, they used to offer sacrifices for atonements for sins. But they were only temporary. Christ died once, and for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God. So Jesus is death paid for every sin of his people, every past sin, every current sin during the time Jesus was alive, and every future sin. So God chose that because it fits with his plan to deal with the payment of sins from the Old Testament in a perfect way that will last forever And fully satisfy his wrath in a just way
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us-for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”-
Galatians 3:13
Of course not.
