What does the Bible say about God forsaking His Son?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that Jesus was forsaken by God as He bore the sins of His people, fulfilling prophecy and demonstrating the gravity of sin's punishment.

In Matthew 27, we see the profound moment when Christ, hanging on the cross, cried out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' This illustrates the culmination of His substitutionary atonement, where He bore the wrath of God for our sins. The darkness that covered the land during His crucifixion symbolizes God’s judgment upon sin as our Lord dealt with the consuming fire of God's wrath against sin. This moment shows us the serious consequences of sin and the depth of Christ's suffering, as He endured not just physical torment but also the spiritual agony of being forsaken by the Father.
