TO MY BROTHERS / PSALMS 22:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 22:22

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

To My Brothers: Standing in the Congregation of the Redeemed

There is a profound moment in the Gospels after the resurrection where Jesus gives Mary Magdalene a message for His disciples. He doesn’t call them His students, His servants, or His followers. He says, “Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God’” (John 20:17).

This beautiful shift in relationship fulfills a prophetic declaration written centuries earlier in the depths of Psalms 22:22:

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the congregation I will praise you.”

While Psalms 22 begins with the agonizing cries of crucifixion (“My God, my god, why have you forsaken me?”

Psalms 22:22 marks the exact turning point from suffering to spectacular triumph.

The Exalted Redeemer and His Family

In the New Testament, Hebrews 2:11-12 explicitly connects this prophetic psalm to Jesus Christ. It tells us that He is not ashamed to call us His brothers and sisters. By His perfect life, death on the cross, and victorious resurrection, Jesus triumphed completely over sin and death.

He is our exalted Redeemer—the One who rescues, liberates, and restores our broken relationship with God. Because of His sacrifice, we are no longer strangers or outcasts; we are gathered into His divine family. When Jesus stands in the midst of His “brothers”—those who trust Him and accept His sacrifice—He leads us in honoring the Father.

Why We Honor the Savior Today

Psalms 22 outlines precisely why the global congregation honors Jesus today. His sacrifice achieved everything we could never achieve for ourselves:

• Comfort for the Hurting: He does not despise or scorn the suffering of the afflicted; He hears our cries for help (Psalms 22:24).
• Eternal Satisfaction: Those who seek the Lord will praise Him, and their hearts will live forever (Psalms 22:26).
• A Global Kingdom: His message of forgiveness and new life is actively spreading to all nations, turning hearts back to the Lord (Psalms 22:27).
• Absolute Authority: Dominion belongs to the Lord, and He rules over all the nations of the earth (Psalms 22:27-29).
• An Enduring Legacy: Future generations will be told about the Lord, proclaiming His righteousness to a people yet unborn (Psalms 22:30-31).

Jesus endured the cross so that He could stand in our midst, point us to the Father, and call us His brothers. Today, let us join our voices with His in the great congregation, praising the One who has done it.

A Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the staggering grace found in Psalm 22. We marvel at the love of Jesus, who endured the isolation of the cross so that we would never be forsaken. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for triumphing over sin, liberating us from its eternal consequences, and calling us Your brothers and sisters.

We praise You today in the congregation. We thank You that You hear the cries of the suffering, satisfy the hungry soul, and rule over the nations with absolute authority. Help us to live lives that reflect Your righteousness to the world around us, so that future generations will know of Your saving power. May Your name be exalted forever and ever.

Amen.
