How do we know that Jesus' cry of abandonment is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' cry of abandonment emphasizes the reality of His suffering and the depth of His sacrifice for sin.

The importance of Jesus' cry of abandonment lies in its representation of His role as the sinner's surety. By experiencing forsakenness, He bore the judgment due to our sins, allowing us as believers to never face eternal separation from God. This moment mirrors the cries of those who are eternally forsaken and underscores the profound mercy of God that through Christ's sacrifice, we can have assurance of His presence. Therefore, this cry serves as both a reminder of our sin's seriousness and the immeasurable grace found in Jesus, who was forsaken so that we may be welcomed into God's favor.
