QUESTION: Would you please explain Matthew 27:46-47?
ANSWER: In the first part of verse forty-six, Jesus from the cross, ‘cried with a
loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani.”’ The second part of the verse tells
the meaning of the first part, i.e., Jesus had said, “My God, my God, why hast
thou forsaken me?” Verse forty-eight says that those who stood nearby
misunderstood, thinking that Jesus was calling for Elias!
There are many opinions as to what Jesus meant when He said, “My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Clearly, it is the case that Jesus, as Deity,
knew what was before Him as He went to Calvary (John 12:27). And as Deity, He
also knew that whatever He would have to face that is Father would never totally
forsake Him (John 16:32). It follows and appears then that, in keeping with the
divine plan; in order for Jesus to experience the fullness of suffering and the total
weight of the sins of mankind, that Deity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) withheld
the slightest of support and allowed the human side of Jesus to woefully recite
the words from Psalms 22:1, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
