What does the Bible say about the forsakenness of Christ?

In Psalm 22:1, Christ's cry, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' reflects His deep anguish as He bore the sins of His people. This moment signifies not a failure on Christ's part, but His identification with humanity in our sin. He, being sinless, faced divine forsakenness, enduring the penalty that was ours. Martin Luther contemplated this profound mystery, questioning how God could forsake God. Yet, it is through this abandonment that grace flows, as Christ was forsaken for our sake, fulfilling the righteousness demanded by God's holiness.
