Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

I know what you're thinking, I know what you're thinking, I thought we got rid of you, but no, no, I'm still here for a few more weeks, so don't be all that excited about me leaving.

So thank you.

You guys are nuts.

So we're doing some sort of a shindig your next Sunday after church.

I don't know all that much about it actually, but you probably talk with Judy about it and she could tell you so Derek, there's that, you guys know what else is going on here during the week.

I am here for a few more weeks, patched back in the Pulpit next Sunday and then I'm doing the last two Sundays of the month.

And then the moving truck shows up on August 1st and We're out of here.

And we won't let the door hit us on the way out.

So, in the meantime, Are you guys going to go back then?

You just waiting for me, okay.

Awesome.

Gus.

I love it.

It was had this, some kind of an idea that church was supposed to be a place.

That was fun for kids.

I know that church that I grew up in what's happening place for kids by love the idea of kids being here and laughing and running and playing and having fun.

So, Going to be blessed, open up your Bibles to Psalm 22 Psalm 22.

This is part of our ongoing series that I've called health and healing for hurting hearts.

We're dealing with.

How God can heal our hearts, but also better prepare.

Our hearts for the Hertz that are to come, not, if they come, but when they come because they will Psalm 22 begins with words that Jesus said, while he was dying on the cross.

And it's impossible.

I I think it's impossible to read the words here at the beginning of Psalm 22 and not feel the pathos of them.

And I think the reason why we feel these words so deeply is because we've all set them or thought them at one point of the other.

When we suffer whatever form our suffering may take.

Swimming around in our head somewhere if not consciously subconsciously is the idea that have God truly loved me and was watching out for me, I wouldn't be suffering like this.

Indeed, we've all felt forsaken by God at some point, or the other.

if you're not a Christian this morning, I pray that you would be and you'll feel that way at some point of the other.

If you're a Believer, if you walked at the Lord, for any.

Of time, you've had that feeling, don't tell me, you haven't.

So when Jesus says these words, what does that mean for you?

And for me, I mean, if Jesus felt forsaken by God, what will I feel?

And by the way, my name is Brian because it says so right there.

Didn't know who I was.

Until I actually came up and gave me this tag and now I know who I am.

I found myself.

I am Bryan.

Psalm 22 this morning, were only going to do half of this song.

Then in 2 weeks were going to finish up with the second half of the song.

So some 22 verses 1 through 11, this is described in the original text as to the chief musician set to the deer of the Dawn.

A Psalm of David not unlike if I wrote a set of lyrics and gave it to Mike and said, set these words to the tune of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, it's a lot.

It's that same idea.

And who knows the deer of the Dawn may have been our rocker.

We don't know.

So I mean, David play guitar, he said he played stringed instruments so you know.

No electricity though so it was all acoustic but that's okay.

So that's the way this is described and it begins like this.

And again these are the words that Jesus hundred from the cross.

I come back to that.

My God.

My God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you so far from helping me?

And from the words of my groaning, oh my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not hear.

And the night season and I'm not silent.

But You Are Holy and thrown in the Praises of Israel.

Our father's trusted in you.

They trusted and you delivered them.

They cried to you and were delivered.

They trusted in you and we're not ashamed.

But I am a worm and no man.

A reproach of men and despised by the people.

All those who see me ridicule me they shoot out the lip.

They shake the head saying he trusted in the Lord, let him rescue him.

Let him deliver him since he Delights in him.

But you are he who took me out of the womb?

You made me trust while on my mother's breasts.

I was cast upon you from birth from my mother's womb.

You have been my God.

Be not far from me for trouble is near and there was no one to help.

Or Jesus, we need help to understand the importance of these words.

how they impact our lives in the Here and Now How they can soothe are hurting hearts and better.

Prepare our hearts for the Hertz that are ahead.

So we ask you Lord by the power of your Holy Spirit, if you would speak clearly to our hearts this morning, we believe that you will because we ask it in Jesus name, amen.

Now, apart from the fact that Jesus quotes this song while on the cross in Matthew 27, this scenario has no precedent in the life of day.

But you know, all of David's suffering songs.

If you will, we can find some event in his life that gave birth to the song.

How he wrote this, while he was going through this, but this time does not have any point of origin in the life of David and David certainly suffered.

There's no question about that buddy, buddy, what he writes in this song.

As more prophetic, then it is biographical.

Warren wiersbe in his commentary notes that.

So, I'm 22, 23 and 24, form a Trilogy of Psalms concerning, the shepherd Psalm 22, is the shepherd who dies for the Sheep?

Some 23 is the shepherd, who lives and cares for the sheep.

And Psalm 24 is the shepherd who returns and glory to reward his sheep.

This is clarified by Peter in 1st Peter, chapter 5 verse 4. But this section verses 1 through 11, this is about feeling abandoned by God at a time.

When you need him, the most Now, we'll go through this song again in in two parts.

That is what are we to do?

When we feel this way point number one, few note-takers it's on the Jumbotron sits on your hand out and that is, where is God when I need him, where is God, when I need him.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

This is what I would describe as the first Salvo in a gut-wrenching, tug-of-war between the one suffering and God.

Now, who hasn't felt like this, in the midst of grave difficulty, and perhaps you never sunk to such depths or been challenged that way in your face before.

If you haven't to this point, you will at some point of the other because nobody gets to escape suffering in this life and some supper far more than others or so it seems So if you haven't sung to those kind of jobs, yet, consider yourself fortunate.

But this was the Cry of Jesus from the cross and Matthew 27:46, where Jesus quotes, this verse in Aramaic is his native language.

What is imbue here?

Is the punitive separation from God that he accepted on our behalf?

Let's talk about that and Galatians 3:13 the Apostle Paul explains that Jesus having become a curse for us in this moment, on the cross.

So, in this moment, when Jesus utters these words from the cross at that time, Jesus bore in himself.

The Punishment Due for all who are violated God's laws now.

Who has violated God's laws.

Yeah.

Okay.
