The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict • #51 Stared Upon
Can count all bones; they look and stare — crowd standing watching the crucifixion, Luke 23:35
They Look and Stare
The psalmist described being stared at and gloated over.
Old Testament
Psalm 22:17
I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me.
New Testament
Luke 23:35
The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is God's Messiah, the Chosen One."
Why This Matters
The psalmist described being stared at and gloated over. Luke records the crowd watching and sneering at Jesus on the cross. Every detail of Psalm 22 was lived out in Christ's crucifixion.
Reflection
Crucified Savior, let They Look and Stare humble me. Teach me to hate sin, love holiness, and trust Your mercy fully.
