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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows that Jesus was forsaken by God as He bore the sins of humanity, exemplified in Matthew 27:46.

In Matthew 27:46, Jesus cries out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' This poignant moment on the cross underscores His profound sense of abandonment as He takes upon Himself the sins of the world. This abandonment was not just a feeling but an active separation from God as He bore the penalty for sin, revealing the holistic justice and holiness of God. As the faithful Son, Jesus experienced this forsakenness not as a personal failing but as a necessary part of the atonement process, fulfilling the Scriptures and demonstrating the depth of God's justice in dealing with sin.
