OUR FATHER WHO HEARD HIS SON'S CALL FOR HELP

Psalm 71 verses 11 - 13 says this;

They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”

Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me.

May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.

This passage, in a parallel narrative to the one David was recording in his Psalm, tells of the travails that our Lord Jesus underwent as agents of darkness conspired against Him.

They scorned the Lord declaring that He had been abandoned by God and they were free to seize Him because there was no one to rescue Him.

The Lord Jesus Christ cried out to His God to help Him quickly as He fell into the hands of His enemies.

The spirits of darkness who presented accusations against Him and planned to injure Him, were judged such that they would be covered with the scorn and disgrace that they tried to heap on the Lord and they were condemned to perish in the same way they attempted to make the Lord Jesus perish.

The Lord prevailed against His enemies.

Amen.
