Encouraging Words from Psalm 22

We see Christ quote from the first verse of Psalm 22 during His time on the cross. Later in this Psalm, we read these verses which I would suggest reflect the consequences of His death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and anticipated return.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.
For kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.
All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.
Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the LORD to the coming generation; they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it.
