QUESTION: What was the reason and what was really happening on the
Cross, when Jesus said, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
ANSWER: The phrase was a quote from the book of Psalms 22:1 indicative of
one that was in deep suffering. The citing of this passage showed that He alone
bore our sins to that cross (Isaiah 53:4-5) and that indeed what He was
undergoing was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Certainly, it teaches
us also the hatred that our Father has for sin; in that, while with the sins of the
world upon His Son, apparently, God temporarily, turned away, rejecting Him in
that moment, because of the great love that He had for you and me (John 3:16).
Did Jesus have foreknowledge of the events of that day? Of course He did (Luke
18:31-34), but the human side of our Lord could not contain and uttered in much
agony the phrase. Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani!
