    About this ebook

    At the centre of human history stands an event, more meaningful, more significant, and more mysterious than any other: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In all the actions and wanderings of humanity, and in all the musings about our origins and future, this event remains unparalleled. Even the pagan resurrection myths—which may at first glance appear to precede it—are no more than the first dim light of its promise; drawn from what had been written by the creator into the rhythms of the natural world: night-time and morning: winter and springtime.
    Through the eyes of David the Psalmist, this book probes the meaning of Jesus’ death and resurrection: the defining and actual giving of love; the deep, true love of God the Father and Jesus. The fact that David saw this event 1000 years before it happened—even more clearly than those actually standing at Golgotha in AD 33—is central to its great mystery. Truly, the salvation won by Jesus on the cross is for all people, in all places, at all times. Indeed, the light of this saving love shines as brightly 1000 years into the past to David, as it shines 2000 years into the future to us. For the death and resurrection of Jesus is the gate of eternity, of eternal salvation, and of eternal life.

      A. Psalm 22: The Death of Jesus

      Psalm 22

      To the choirmaster: according to The Hind of the Dawn. A Psalm of David

      1) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

      Why art thou so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?

      2) O my God, I cry by day, but thou dost not answer;

      and by night, but find no rest.

      3) Yet thou art holy,

      enthroned on the praises of Israel.

      4) In thee our fathers trusted;

      they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

      5) To thee they cried, and were saved;

      in thee they trusted, and were not disappointed.

      6) But I am a worm, and no man;

      scorned by men, and despised by the people.

      7) All who see me mock at me,

      they make mouths at me, they wag their heads;

      8) "He committed his cause to the LORD; let him deliver him,

      let him rescue him, for he delights in him!"

      9) Yet thou art he who took me from the womb;

      thou didst keep me safe upon my mother's breasts.

      10) Upon thee was I cast from my birth,

      and since my mother bore me thou hast been my God.

      11) Be not far from me,

      for trouble is near

      and there is none to help.

      12) Many bulls encompass me,

      strong bulls of Bashan surround me;

      13) they open wide their mouths at me,

      like a ravening and roaring lion.

      14) I am poured out like water,

      and all my bones are out of joint;

      my heart is like wax,

      it is melted within my breast;

      15) my strength is dried up like a potsherd,

      and my tongue cleaves to my jaws;

      thou dost lay me in the dust of death.

      16) Yea, dogs are round about me;

      a company of evildoers encircle me;

      they have pierced my hands and feet --

      17) I can count all my bones --

      they stare and gloat over me;

      18) they divide my garments among them,

      and for my raiment they cast lots.

      19) But thou, O LORD, be not far off!

      O thou my help, hasten to my aid!

      20) Deliver my soul from the
