Bible Commentary

Psalms 22:7

The mocking described here — faces, lip-shooting, head-shaking — is precisely what happened to Jesus at the cross. Matthew 27:39 records people 'wagging their heads' at Him. The psalm predicted it perfectly.

Memory phrase: Jesus was mocked — and He bore it for us.

Talk about it: Have you ever been laughed at or made fun of? How do you think Jesus felt at the cross?

Prayer: Jesus, You were laughed at and mocked. Thank You for bearing that shame so I could be loved and accepted by God.
