Jesus, the Suffering King

Series: The Story of Redemption

Category: Gospel

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon from Psalm 22, we looked at a time when David poured out his heart in anguish, feeling abandoned by God and surrounded by enemies, yet still holding on in faith that God would deliver him. His cries and vivid descriptions of suffering point beyond his own experience to Jesus, the true Suffering King who was mocked, pierced, and feeling forsaken. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, the story of redemption moves from despair to victory, turning suffering into salvation and opening the way for people from every nation to worship the risen King. Because of Him, our cries of pain are met with God's presence, our sin is met with His forgiveness, and our lives are drawn into His greater story of redemption that ends with glory and the promise of all things made new.
