What does the Bible say about the Father forsaking the Son?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the Father forsaking the Son during the crucifixion as a fulfillment of scripture and a reflection of God's holiness.

In Mark 15:33-34, Jesus cries out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' This moment signifies not only a profound sense of abandonment but also serves a greater purpose in God's plan for salvation. The Father's forsaking of the Son is a critical fulfillment of prophecies found in Psalms, demonstrating that Christ's suffering was preordained and necessary for the salvation of His people. It illustrates the depth of anguish when the Father, who is holy and cannot overlook sin, turned away from His Son who was made sin for us. This act reveals both the gravity of sin and the seriousness with which God addresses justice.
