GPS to the Messiah Session_07_

Imagine the Old Testament as a treasure map guiding us to a single amazing person! This exciting exploration into Messianic Psalms shows that, almost a thousand years before Jesus, King David's words foretold the crucifixion with incredible accuracy. Psalm 22 echoes Jesus' cry on the cross—'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'—and describes mockery, pierced hands and feet, garments cast lots, and 'it is finished.' These details perfectly match the Gospel stories. Psalm 16 predicts the resurrection; Psalm 45 talks about the Messiah as God; and Psalm 68 speaks of an ascension with captives. God cleverly wove messianic hints throughout Scripture, so those who knew the Word could recognize Jesus. Some at the crucifixion probably did—they stood there as these psalm quotes came true right in front of their eyes. This study invites us to see Scripture as a beautiful, connected story, where the Spirit helps us find Christ on every page.
