Psalm 22: "The Suffering King"

In this most holy of Psalms,  King David describes the Forsaken One who feels abandoned by The Father.  As a prophet (Acts 2:30),  David speaks of the future abandonment of the Messiah (Jesus Christ).  The crucifixion of Christ is prophesied in amazing and precise detail.   The Suffering Messiah would be crucified, but later return as the Sovereign King.  Jesus Christ took our place on the Cross, so that we might be made righteous (2 Cor 5:21).
