Scripture

The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him.

Reflection

Psalm 22 is a powerful visual description of crucifixion, especially Jesus’ crucifixion.

It is the death of Christ on the cross that sets us free from sin.

“The cross is my provision for you,” says the Lord. ” There is no other way.”

Through Jesus’ death on the cross, I know my sins are forgiven and that the wall of separation that kept me away from God is demolished; not one brick stands on another.

The whole Earth will acknowledge the Lord. The gospel has gone to every nation on the planet. Millions and millions of people get saved every year. Whole nations who just a generation ago were pagan are now confessing Jesus Christ is Lord.

As many nations in the West – Europe North America and Australia – turn their backs on the Lord, many more in Asia and Africa are coming to the Lord.

Prayer

Thank you Lord for the cross of Christ. It is the only way to salvation. Thank you for paying the price for my sin. Please help me to live as your obedient child. Amen.
