The True Easter Story: Jesus' Faith Never Wavered

Bob

Psalm 22:1 - "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?

Please Read the WHOLE Psalm - This is the first verse of Psalm 22, which Jesus uttered while in agony on the Cross. Taken out of context, this single verse has caused many people to assume that Jesus' faith waivered as He approached the end. But a text taken out of context is a pretext! Jesus wasn't giving up hope. He was in agony, only minutes from death, and He didn't have time or strength to quote all 31 verses of this Psalm. It took all the strength He had left to say just the first verse. But the context, which Jesus knew full well, was the rest of Psalm 22 - which says that that God will vindicate His beloved Son and never abandon Him.
