"For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither has He hidden His face from him; but when he cried for help He heard." Psalm 22:24
Christ is pointing us to this psalm and its fulfillment when he quotes this psalm on the cross. Christ doesn't despise your affliction; he has gone through the worst affliction imaginable and He has the ability to enter into your pain and affliction rather than despise it and you when you are in the midst of a trial. Such grace and understanding from our God is beautiful! Not only can He sympathize, but He has the power to answer your call for help as the ascended crucified Savior.
God help us to live in this truth.
