What does the Bible say about Jesus being forsaken?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible indicates that Jesus was forsaken by God during his crucifixion, as seen in Psalm 22:1-2, which He quoted from the cross.

In Psalm 22:1-2, the cry of anguish, 'My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?' reflects the profound abandonment Jesus experienced while on the cross. This was not merely a moment of despair; it was the culmination of a divine transaction. Jesus, having lived a perfect life in communion with the Father, now faced the weight of sin as He bore the transgressions of His people. This forsakenness shows how God’s justice is met while also demonstrating the depth of Christ’s suffering for the sake of His elect.
