Few believers truly understand why Jesus made this statement at the cross. When Jesus Christ hung between heaven and earth, beaten, mocked, bleeding. The sky turned dark, the crowd shouted, jeered, Roman soldiers gambled for his clothes, the disciples were scattered. His mother was watching. Everything looked like defeat.
And then he cried out, "My Father, my Father, why have you forsaken me!" . Matthew 27:46 .
Most people hear that and think was Jesus losing faith.
Was he abandoned?
But here is what many people do not understand.
Jesus Christ was not just expressing pain. He was quoting Psalm 22, a prophetic psalm written hundreds of years before the crucifixion.
