What does the Bible say about Jesus being forsaken?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' cry of forsakenness reveals the depth of his suffering and the reality of his atonement.

In Mark 15:33-34, we see Jesus cry out, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' This poignant declaration not only signifies a moment of deep anguish for Christ but also fulfills the prophecy of Psalm 22. During his crucifixion, Jesus experienced abandonment in a way that we cannot fully understand, as he bore the sins of the elect. This was a unique transaction between the Father and the Son, highlighting the gravity of sin and God's justice. His forsakenness, a profound mystery, was integral to the atonement for sins, emphasizing the sacrificial nature of Christ's mission.
