Christ Gave Us Victory through the Cross

 “Deliver my soul from the sword; My darling from the power of the dog.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭22‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

David prophesying the Cross of the Messiah, a thousand years earlier, “Give me back my life. Save me from this violent death. Save my precious one and only from the power of these dogs!”  As it says, “darling” is the unique One and Only Son of God.  On the Cross, Jesus is giving birth to the Church - and He cared less that His body was being torn apart, and more about our protection and salvation.  He prayed for us as He faced the death on the Cross, so that each of us who believed in Him, became that one and only child, the unique “darling” in Christ.  It goes on to talk about the “power of the dog” which are the evil spirits bent on destroying Jesus on the Cross.  Praise God that Jesus won as He destroyed all the works of the devil.  But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Hallelujah!
