Psalm 22 Predicted the Crucifixion of Jesus | Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler: Part 7

Why did Jesus Christ have to become fully human, suffer temptation, and die on the cross? In Hebrews Part 7, special guest Otis Fowler joins Straight Bible for an in-depth study of Hebrews 2:12–18 and its powerful connections to Psalm 22. The study begins by reviewing the opening chapters of Hebrews, where Jesus is revealed as greater than the angels, the perfect source of salvation, and the One who restores humanity’s intended position under God. The discussion then examines how Jesus sanctifies believers and is “not ashamed to call them brethren.” Psalm 22 provides the prophetic foundation for much of the episode. Written centuries before the crucifixion, the psalm describes Christ’s suffering, rejection, pierced hands and feet, divided garments, and apparent abandonment. Its second half points beyond the cross to the resurrection, ascension, worldwide proclamation of the gospel, and future generations declaring what God has accomplished. Hebrews 2 explains that Jesus shared in flesh and blood so that through death He could render powerless the devil, who held the power of death, and release those enslaved by the fear of death. Because Christ suffered and faced temptation, He is able to help believers in their own temptations. He became a merciful and faithful High Priest who made propitiation for the sins of His people. The conversation also explores the incarnation, the deity of Jesus, the Trinity, Christ’s connection to Abraham and Israel, and the difference between essential gospel doctrine and secondary theological disagreements. Otis explains why speaking in tongues, observing a particular Sabbath day, or belonging to a specific denomination should not be turned into additional requirements for salvation. The episode closes with a practical explanation of how to share the gospel and the most important question anyone can answer: Who is Jesus to you? What does Hebrews 2 reveal to you about the humanity, deity, suffering, and victory of Jesus Christ? Share your thoughts in the comments.
