引言：

伯利恒的牧羊人大卫······，很明白什么是代罪羔羊。因为伯利恒是专门出产完美无瑕疵的羔羊，作为代罪献祭之用。不料，圣灵就用大卫的经历写下这首弥赛亚之歌。

一、遭神离弃之痛苦（22:1-2）

马太福音 27:46 约在申初，耶稣大声喊着说：“以利，以利！拉马撒巴各大尼？”就是说：“我的　神，我的神！为什么离弃我？”

大卫受苦中写下这诗篇，原来是在预表基督受苦成为代罪的羔羊。

当神要人经历不住的祷告，昼夜的祷告时会怎么做呢？其中一个方法是让人感觉神已经离开了自己。原来只有信心的坚持才是神迹的媒介。这就难怪神没有立刻成就神儿女们的祷告。

二、苦中赞美神宝座（22:3-5）

自古以来神的子民不断在面对仇敌的侵略，因此他们学会依靠神，呼求神，甚至是不断赞美神；因为他们已经发现赞美是带下神的宝座，或者把人带到神的宝座前。意思说一切都由神掌管，神作主，结果是必然得胜。我们要得着的信仰经历不正是如此吗？以赞美来祷神的宝座前，有神就必得胜。

三、代罪羔羊被藐视（22:6-8）

马太福音 27:40 “你这拆毁圣殿，三日又建造起来的，可以救自己吧！你如果是神的儿子，就从十字架上下来吧！”

受苦的仆人耶稣基督，存心降卑，取了人的样式。被无知的人轻看、藐视、羞辱。然而他知道自己是谁？因此他不在乎眼前的羞辱，一心只想完全父神的旨意，成为代罪的羔羊。我们如果明白神的心意，只要按照神的心意做事，结果如何都已经不成为影响。

四、羔羊受屈遭凌辱（22:9-18）

路加福音 23:34 当下耶稣说：“父啊，赦免他们！因为他们所作的，他们不晓得。”兵丁就拈阄分他的衣服。

大卫的人生际遇有一段刻骨铭心的经历，义人受苦遭恶人凌辱。恰恰好大卫把这种体会和经历写下俩的时候，原来这正是成为预言耶稣基督受辱的际遇。十字架是最大的苦难和凌辱，也是最大的喜乐与荣耀，这是人生的突破与得胜的奥秘！

五、羔羊成为拯救主（22:19-31）

1.救我脱离伤害（V19-21）

认定神是拯救者，神要救我脱离一切仇敌的伤害！人就是要经历求告主。

2.成为我所传扬（V22-23）

当人经历神的真实后，必然主动积极的传扬主的名。人要敬畏神而荣耀神，即是不断述说祂的作为。神的救恩于你有多好？就把它见证出来吧！

3.受苦人得饱足（V24-26）

没有【失去】就不知道什么是【得回】！只有愿意谦卑的人才知道什么是饱足？凡事都从神而来，有的就要知足，要懂得凡事都感恩。

4.万族要归顺神（V27-31）

神是万有之主，地上万族都要来敬拜祂。祂要作王管理万国万民，你也是有份在其中吗？

总结：受苦羔羊成为荣耀救主

人生的际遇常是如此：苦尽甘来，最黑暗的经历往往成为将来最荣耀的见证！

Psalm 22 Messiah’s Song: The Suffering Sacrificial Lamb!
GK611 Morning Devotion
6/12/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Rev David Tan

Introduction:

David ——, the shepherd of Bethlehem, understood well what a scapegoat was. This is because Bethlehem specialises in producing perfect, spotless lambs for use as a substitutionary sacrifice for sin. Unexpectedly, the Holy Spirit used David’s experience to write this Messianic song.

1. The Agony of God’s Abandonment (22:1-2)

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “ “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
The fact that David wrote this psalm in the midst of his sufferings was a foreshadowing of Christ’s suffering as the atoning Lamb.
What does God do when He wants people to experience unceasing prayer, day and night? One of the ways is to make people feel that God has left them. It turns out that only the perseverance of faith is the medium of miracles. It is no wonder that God does not immediately fulfill the prayers of God’s children.

2. Praising God’s Throne in Bitterness (22:3-5)

Since the beginning of time God’s people have continually faced the aggression of the enemy, and so they have learned to rely on God, to call upon Him, and even to praise Him continually; for they have discovered that praise is what brings down the throne of God, or brings people to the throne of God. It means that everything is in God’s hands, God reigns, and the result is inevitable victory. Isn’t this exactly the kind of faith experience we are to have? Pray before the throne of God with praise, and with God there will be victory.

3. The Sacrificial Lamb was despised (22:6-8)

Matthew 27:40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
The Suffering Servant, Jesus Christ, humbled himself and took on the likeness of men. Despised, scorned and humiliated by the ignorant. Yet he knew who he was? Therefore, he did not care about the immediate humiliation, but only wanted to fulfill the will of God the Father and become the sacrificial lamb. If we understand God’s will, as long as we do things according to God’s will, it will not matter what the outcome is.

4. The Sacrificial Lamb was humiliated (22:9-18)

Luke 23:34 “Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”

David’s life was marked by a poignant experience of the righteous suffering at the hands of the wicked. It so happened that when David wrote down this experience, it turned out to be the very encounter that became the prophecy of the humiliation of Jesus Christ. The cross is the greatest suffering and humiliation, but also the greatest joy and glory, which is the breakthrough of life and the mystery of victory!

5. The Sacrificial Lamb becomes the Saviour (22:19-31)

(1) Delivering me from harm (V19-21)

Acknowledging God as the Deliverer, God will deliver me from all the harm of the enemy! Man is to experience seeking the Lord.

(2) Becoming what I preach (V22-23)

When man experiences the reality of God, he is bound to proactively and positively proclaim the name of the Lord. Man is to honour God by fearing Him, that is, by continually recounting His works. How good is God’s salvation for you? Witness it!

(3) The Sufferer is Satisfied (V24-26)

One does not know what it is to [gain back] without [losing]! Only those who are willing to humble themselves know what the fullness is? All things come from God, so be content with what you have, and know how to be thankful for all things.

(4) All nations must submit to God (V27-31)

God is the Lord of all, and all the tribes of the earth will come to worship Him. He will reign over all nations and peoples. Are you a part of this?

Conclusion: The suffering Sacrificial Lamb becomes the glorious Saviour

Life is often like this: the darkest experiences often become the most glorious testimonies of the future!
