What is the significance of Jesus crying out on the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' cry signifies His deep suffering and the reality of God's wrath against sin.

When Jesus cried out, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' it highlighted the profound reality of His suffering on the cross and the state of His soul under God's wrath. This moment illustrates not only the intensity of His physical pain but also the deeper spiritual agony of being forsaken, a consequence of bearing the sins of humanity (Matthew 27:46). It serves as a radical depiction of the cost of sin and the penalty He willingly endured so that believers might be reconciled to God. This cry also reflects the fulfillment of prophecy, serving to deepen our understanding of the magnitude of His sacrifice.
