What does the Bible say about God forsaking Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that God forsook Jesus on the cross as He bore the sins of His people.

In Matthew 27:46, Jesus cries out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' This profound question underscores the depth of Jesus' suffering as He took upon Himself the sins of His elect. His forsaking was necessary as a part of the redemptive plan laid out by God, fulfilling the prophecy and the requirement for sin to be atoned. Jesus, as the sinless Son of God, became a substitute for sinners, enduring the separation from the Father that we, in our sinful state, justly deserve. This mystery, where the perfect and Holy Son of God experienced forsakenness, emphasizes the gravity of sin and the incomprehensible love of Christ for His people.
