What does the Bible say about Jesus' cry of forsakenness on the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' cry, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' highlights His profound agony in bearing our sins.

In Mark 15:34, Jesus cries out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' which reflects not only His physical suffering but also the deep spiritual anguish of being made sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). This utterance fulfills Psalm 22, which prophetically describes the sufferings of the Messiah. The depth of His experience reveals the weight of sin He bore on behalf of humanity. As God and man, He endured a sense of abandonment, aiming to be a sympathizing High Priest for His people, who also often feel forsaken in trials.
