What does the Bible say about Jesus being forsaken on the cross?

The Bible captures the profound moment when Jesus cries out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' as recorded in Matthew 27:46 and echoed in Psalm 22. This expression of forsakenness illustrates the depth of His suffering as He bore the sins of His people. Unlike David, who felt abandoned yet was ultimately not forsaken, Jesus experienced true forsakenness as He bore the weight of sin and the wrath of God against it. This moment was necessary for the fulfillment of God's justice and the completion of the redemptive plan, revealing the gravity of sin and the holiness of God who cannot be in communion with sin.
