Psalm 22:25-31 “My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him. The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you. For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations. All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive. Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord. They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.”

God’s salvation results in our praise and service. That praise and service results in others turning to Him. He is ruler of the nations, and all who follow Him (past, present, and future) will be a part of the glorious feast in his future kingdom!

“For He has done it” could also be understood to mean “it is finished.” If that understanding is correct, then Jesus doesn’t just quote the beginning of this Psalm on the cross, but the end as well. The entirety of the Psalm then speaks not only to Jesus’ suffering and ultimate vindication, but His willingness to follow God’s plan regardless of the cost. Do we have that same zeal?
