What does the Bible say about Jesus being forsaken by God?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible describes Jesus' cry of abandonment in Matthew 27:46, signifying the weight of sin He bore on the cross.

In Matthew 27:46, Jesus cries out, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' This profound statement illustrates the depth of Jesus' suffering as He carried the weight of our sins. The darkness that enveloped the land at His crucifixion symbolizes God's judgment against sin, marking a moment where Jesus, though innocent, experienced the consequences of humanity's transgressions. This forsakenness was not an indication of a lack of love from the Father but rather a necessary part of the atonement process, highlighting the seriousness of sin and the cost of redemption.
