An X-Ray Of The Cross
| Psalm 22:1-6 |
There are several Scriptures with which I never feel adequate to deal. This is one of them.
When we come to Psalm 22 I feel that we are standing on holy ground and we should take off our
spiritual shoes. This psalm is called the Psalm of the Cross. It is so named because it
describes more accurately and minutely the crucifixion of Christ than does any other portion of
the Word of God.

we might survive without a scratch?
