Psalms 22:22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren:
His first thought, even in his agony on the cross, was about them; and he seemed to say, "When I have risen from the dead, I will tell them all about this time of trial; and through the ages to come, I will tell my people how thou didst help me, - the greatest of all sufferers, - and that thou wilt help them also. I was left for a time, and yet I was not finally left. I cried, ‘Lama sabachthani,’ and yet I triumphed, even then, and so shall they. They shall do as I have done, - confide and conquer."
Psalms 22:22. In the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
And you know that he did so; he stood in the midst of his people, and told them what God had done; and, spiritually, he stands in our midst at this moment, and he leads our songs of praise unto Jehovah.
