Psalm 22. Jesus prayed this psalm as he was dying on the cross. Jesus said "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." We can be sure that he spoke these words, because the New Testament tells us that he cried out from the cross. The Bible says that he cried out like a baby who has just been put into his mother's arms for the first time...and he never stopped crying until he died on the cross at age 30. This shows that there was more than one reason why he was crying out on the cross. Perhaps you can imagine what was going through his mind at that moment... He was God, and yet he felt like a victim of circumstance. The Bible says that he felt pain every time he heard men mocking him and saying cruel things about himself. He had taken on human form, so it wasn't surprising if he felt vulnerable too. After all, we women can feel insecure when some guy looks at us with anger in his eyes.
