As we look around our world, we see humanity caught in a destructive pattern. We are victims of the sin of others, but we go and pass on that same sin to others. As we look in our world, we see the need for a new way forward. We need someone who is like us, who can step into this cycle and stop it in its tracks, who can cover over the sins we have committed, and offer a new way forward where we pass on that sin no more. We need a representative who can act on our behalf, where we can't. Who could that man be, and would you let him be your representative?
There is so much suffering in the world. There is a lot of suffering in our own lives. And we are crying out "Where are you God?". How does God respond to this question? Psalm 22 helps us walk through why we might ask this question, what to do when we ask this question, and what God does to show us that he is always with us because of Jesus.
