What does the Bible say about Christ being forsaken?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible reveals that Christ was forsaken by God the Father when He was made sin for us, as expressed in Psalm 22:1.

The Bible teaches that when Jesus cried out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' He was expressing the profound reality of being abandoned by God during the darkest hour of His earthly ministry. This moment, prophesied in Psalm 22:1, reflects the anguish of our Savior as He bore the sins of His people. He endured this separation to fulfill divine justice, demonstrating the depths of our salvation and the seriousness of sin. The Father turned away from the Son because He was made sin for us, ensuring that believers could be accepted by God through Christ's sacrifice.
