“But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.”
Psalms 22:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 22:6
Christ's identification with humanity reaches its nadir here—'I am a worm, and no man.' The Hebrew 'tola' (worm) refers to the crimson worm from which scarlet dye was extracted by crushing. This prefigures Christ's crushed body producing redemption's crimson covering. Reformed theology sees here the doctrine of Christ's humiliation: the eternal Son assumed not just humanity but the lowest human experience—reproach, contempt, rejection—to redeem His people fully.
