How do we know that Jesus experienced God's wrath?

The doctrine that Jesus experienced God's wrath is foundational in understanding His atoning work. 2 Corinthians 5:21 states that He was made sin for us, even though He knew no sin. This means that Jesus, who had an intimate and perfect relationship with God the Father, voluntarily took on the sins of humanity. As a result, He bore God's just wrath against sin during His crucifixion. Psalm 6 reflects the immense sorrow of being forsaken by God, which was uniquely experienced by Christ. Unlike any human experience of sin and its consequences, His was truly devastating as He faced the fullness of divine anger and separation from His Father, illustrating the gravity of our sin and the magnitude of His sacrifice.
