That was what broke his heart. He understood why all these others, for various reasons would forsake him. But that was what broke his heart because never had he known a moment's time of any sort of separation in his relationship with the Father. So I think this was the great low point, if you will, in his experience on the cross.
But as he prays through that, you get down to Verse 3 in Psalm 22 , he says, "Yet you are Holy. It's because God is Holy. I have become sin, and that's why he uttered that cry. God was forsaking him, the perfect, Holy, sinless Jesus.
Once my sin was put on Jesus, he was forsaken by the father. So Jesus was forsaken so people like us would not have to be forsaken. We could be received if we come through Jesus to the Father. You remember those rolling blackouts we were having a number of years ago here in California? I remember one night when all the power went off everywhere. It was kind of eerie. There was no light on. It's just pitch dark. And this was a rolling blackout, but it was in the middle of the day. It's in the afternoon.
The sun is still out. Suddenly it's pitch black. There's no light anywhere. And then the darkness is pierced by the words of Jesus crying from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? What was going on there? Jesus at that moment I believe was bearing the sins of the world. He was dying as a substitute for others. That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? The Message : From noon to three, the whole earth was dark. As you can see in the different English language translations, this passage has been translated with a great deal of confidence in its meaning for a long period of time the King James version is from the year It was misunderstood by those close by when he said it and today it can be difficult to understand without placing it into its appropriate context of Psalm You cannot leave it by itself.
Jesus was calling us to the full Psalm just as he knew that his followers would understand when they figured out what he had said.
Yes, that was a moment of ultimate pain and loss as only the burden of sin could cause. We are invited to do the same in our lives. To depend on God, trust in his love, and believe that eternal life is offered to us through the sacrifice of Jesus his son. Plus Toggle navigation. Password Assistance. Email address. Larry White.

Luke And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
John After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst…. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Psalm Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. Here Jesus descends into the essence of hell, the most extreme suffering ever experienced.
It is a time so compacted, so infinite, so horrendous as to be incomprehensible and, seemingly, unsustainable. Jesus' cry does not in any way diminish His deity. Jesus does not cease being God before, during, or after this.
Jesus' cry does not divide His human nature from His divine person or destroy the Trinity. Nor does it detach Him from the Holy Spirit. The Son lacks the comforts of the Spirit, but He does not lose the holiness of the Spirit. And finally, it does not cause Him to disavow His mission.
Both the Father and Son knew from all eternity that Jesus would become the Lamb of God who would take away the sin of the world Acts It is unthinkable that the Son of God might question what is happening or be perplexed when His Father's loving presence departs. Jesus is expressing the agony of unanswered supplication Ps. Unanswered, Jesus feels forgotten of God. He is also expressing the agony of unbearable stress. It is the kind of "roaring" mentioned in Psalm the roar of desperate agony without rebellion.
It is the hellish cry uttered when the undiluted wrath of God overwhelms the soul. It is heart-piercing, heaven-piercing, and hell-piercing.
