On the cross, Jesus cried, ‘My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Objection:
"On the cross, Jesus cried, ‘My God, why have You forsaken Me?’ This
proves He was a fake. God forsook Him."
Answer:
Jesus’ words recorded in Matthew
27:46 and Mark
15:34 were the fulfillment of David’s prophecy in Psalm
22:1. Verse
3 of this psalm then gives us in-sight into why God forsook Jesus on the
cross. A holy Creator cannot have fellowship with sin. When Jesus was on the
cross, the sin of the entire world was laid upon Him (Isaiah
53:6; 2
Corinthians 5:21), but Scripture says God is "of purer eyes than to
behold evil, and can not look on iniquity" (Habakkuk
1:13).
