In A Synoptic Christology of Lament: The Lord Who Answered and the
Lord Who Cried, Channing Crisler explores an oft underappreciated
description of Jesus in which the Synoptic writers portray him as
both answering cries of distress and uttering them himself.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke take up the quintessential language of
suffering from Israel’s Scriptures, namely lament. Their
engagement with lament overlaps and diverges from one another based
upon their specific biographical aims. What emerges from this
engagement is a diverse biographical portrait in which Jesus both
responds to the cries of the afflicted as Israel’s God did and
shares in their cries as righteous sufferers from Israel’s past
did. The explanatory climax of this phenomenon arises in the
respective passion narratives where Jesus’s ability to answer and
utter lament finally converge in the same literary setting. The
implications of this dynamic are far reaching as it provides yet
another consideration for ongoing research on early Christology.
The lament language embedded in the Synoptic Gospels and reflected
in subsequent early Christian writings points to a belief among
some Christ followers that Jesus answered their cries and
participated in them.
