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

In Psalm 22, the cry of Jesus from the cross signifies not only His intense suffering but also fulfills the prophecy of being forsaken due to the holiness of God. His lament reveals the profound alienation He faced as He bore sin, ultimately demonstrating the reality that this forsakenness was necessary for the righteous purpose of God. It was not a moment of confusion but an expression of perfect obedience to divine will and a confession of His deepest anguish as He took on the sins of His people.
