First Presbyterian Church Of Baton Rouge

It’s almost impossible to read Psalm 22 without thinking about Jesus. He quoted the first verse from the cross, “My God, my God, why have your forsaken me?” And there are another half dozen direct connections between Psalm 22 and Matthew’s account of Jesus’ passion. So this psalm connects deeply to our redemption. It takes us to the inner heart of our Redeemer and what he went through for us.
