One of the most amazing prophecies in the Old Testament is actually a psalm! Specifically Psalm 22 which details our Lord's sufferings on the cross. Join us in today's study as we compare this psalm with the Gospels and see so much of what we can praise Christ for! 

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:

1.    Look at the opening words of Psalm 22. Who wrote this psalm? From what we know of his life, did he ever experience the things he’s written in this psalm? Who was this psalm ultimately pointing to?
2.    How does the fact that Psalm 22 was written about 1,000 years before Jesus demonstrate the authenticity of its prophecy?
3.    Verse 1 was quoted by Jesus while He was on the cross. According to the podcast, what were two possible reasons for this?
4.    The podcast discussed how many of these verses were fulfilled by Christ on the cross. When were the following verses fulfilled? 
a.    Verse 6: 
b.    Verse 14:
c.    Verse 16:
d.    Verse 17:
e.    Verse 18:
5.    Looking over how these verses were fulfilled by Christ on the cross, which prophecy most amazes you?

7.    How does the accuracy of fulfillment in the opening section of this psalm help us know that the prophecies at the end of this psalm will also come to pass? 
8.    How are we part of the fulfillment of verse 31?
9.    The fulfillment of these amazing prophecies demonstrates the reality of God’s message in these verses. What does this mean in terms of how we respond to its message?
