VERSE 7 & 8
OF
THE PRAYER
“All who see me, jeer at me,
They stick out their tongues
and shake their heads.
You relied on the Lord, they say:
Why doesn’t the Lord save you?
If the Lord likes you,
Why doesn’t the Lord help you?”
(The Psalm-22, Verse: 7 & 8)
These Verses are clarifying the following points:-
The people, present at the spot, were altogether against Jesus. But they were virtually witnessing that Jesus was a man and a slave of GOD who was in habit of relying upon GOD. The conversation of the people is scornful and satiric but, even then, some facts are thrashing out, positively:-
• During his preaching, Jesus had never called himself as god or the son of god. That is why that the people, present at the spot, had not spoken like that:-
“Help yourself as you are god”
or
“Seek help from your father as you are the son of god.”
Now, look upon those people who consider Jesus as god or the son of god. They are, baselessly, blaming even those people who were present at the spot and knew that Jesus was not god or the son of god. In other words, the people with the belief that Jesus is god or the son of god; are far more enemies of Jesus who tried to crucify him.
• The people who say that Jesus is god or son of god or in his guise, the Lord descended upon earth because of GOD’s love for humanity. They are, baselessly, blaming Jesus and the Lord of Jesus, the both.
• The words of:
“If the Lord likes you
Why doesn’t the Lord help you?”
further clarify that Jesus had always told the masses that he was a man and a prophet of the Lord who was liked by the Lord as he was awarded with certain extraordinary blessings and miracles. And, he had, definitely, told them:-
“O’people! When you see the dead as alive, the sick as healthy, the blind as seer, through miracles then, you can easily understand that I am liked by the Lord.”
Such a statement, however, does not prove that Jesus had ever shown himself as a partner of the Lord__ or creator of the worlds__ or Almighty God of the universe. He had simply shown himself as a chosen and blessed man of the Lord. Otherwise, the people present at the spot, must have scorned in some different terms. Hence, even the scornful words of the enemies of Jesus, are proving the sole fact that Jesus had never preached Trinity or gods other than GOD. Instead, he had always preached the one alone GOD as his Lord.
• The Verses are also signifying that Jesus was nobody else but a man and a prophet of the Lord. Who relied upon the Lord and sought help from the Lord alone.
• Creatures of GOD are Creatures of GOD, they can never be considered as GOD or as the parts of GOD. Same is the case of Jesus who is a born creature and, as such, can not be considered as god or a part of the Creator or son of the Creator.
• Jesus is not a savior. He is not capable, even, to save himself from his enemies. How he can be considered “All-able” to save everyone on the earth. It is the Lord alone__ Who is the All-able to save every creature of the universe including the mankind__ as the Lord is already saving__ each of them__ without any desolation and defect.
