“I am afflicted and ready to die from My youth up…Thy fierce wrath goeth over Me” (Psalm 88:15-16).
There are a number of prophesies about the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus in the Old Testament, and here is one of them. Right from the time He was born into this world, the Lord Jesus knew that He was going to the cross, to suffer and to die. Then, while on the cross, He could say that God’s fierce wrath was going over Him. Surely the Lord Jesus felt the sufferings He experienced from the hands of man, but it was the suffering for sin, at the hands of God, that He felt much more. All of God’s anger against sin was placed upon the Lord Jesus during the last three hours of darkness on the cross. The Spirit of God led the writer of this psalm to say these things hundreds of years before the Lord Jesus suffered for sin on the cross.
Yes, the Lord Jesus suffered all this, in order that you and I might be saved. Have you thanked Him for all that He did for you?
