"My God My God Why Have You Forsaken Me"?___The Lord Jesus

[JAG**]

Here is my interpretation of , , ,
"My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?"__The Lord Jesus

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life."

The Lord Jesus was made a sin offering.
He bore the penalty of the "perish" of John 3:16

During the time the Lord Jesus hung on the Cross His Father temporarily forsook
His Son while His Son was bearing the penalty of sin for the world.

Here is the verse.

Note the caps.

"GOD MADE him who had no sin TO BE SIN for us, so that in him we might
become the righteousness of God"___2 Corinthians 5:21

The point?

God made Jesus who had no sin , , TO BE SIN for us.

So?

So while the Lord Jesus was "MADE , , TO BE SIN "
the Father temporarily "turned His back" so to speak, on His Son the Lord Jesus.

Something mysterious happened there on the Cross my friend, that forever
changed the world.

Isaiah 53 , , , 

"Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by
God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment
that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord
has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to
the slaughter."___ Isaiah chapter 53

So was Psalm 22...

Psa 22:1 To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?

Feeling forsaken by God is one thing, being "Godforsaken" or in a "Godforsaken place" is another. 

Although being forsaken by God for a time on the Cross, unswervingly Jesus did not forsake God but gave Himself over to Him, having done all that He could and having been faithful to finish the work He came to do. Now it was up to God to accept or reject His Son Jesus Christ's death as sufficient or otherwise.  

Luk 23:46  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.

Good thread, @JAG**

A Follow-up post , , ,

There is another aspect -- that the Lord Jesus said "MY God My God Why Have You Forsaken Me?"
to call attention to the Psalm 72 that He was quoting

Start quote.
"There is another possible reason for Jesus to cry out, “My God, my God,
why have you forsaken me?” It could be that Jesus’ intent in quoting
Psalm 22:1 was to point His hearers to that psalm. When they read
Psalm 22, they would no doubt see the many fulfilled prophecies
included in that song of David. Even while experiencing the agony
of the cross, Jesus was teaching the crowds and proving yet again
that He was the Messiah who fulfilled the Scripture."

My view is that both are true

Thank you.

And thanks for your comments -- much appreciated.

This was to draw attention to Psalm 22. He was fulfilling prophecy. But it is true, as He became sin, the Father was distant, and could not look upon sin. The Son of Man was also crying out on his physical weakness, beaten, exhausted and dying. 

This is an argument thay proves His deity. Only God can take on the sin of the world. You have to be omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent to absorb the sins of man for all time.

[JAG**]

There is another important point to make regarding the Father forsaking the Lord Jesus while He was on the Cross.

That point is this: The forsaking, whatever it was, was only for a  short period of time. The Lord Jesus was on the Cross for about 6 hours and so He was re-united with the Father after that 6 hour period was over. "It is finished" said the Lord Jesus and later there was the , , ,

■ Resurrection , , , 

, , , and then the , , , 

■ Ascension {"I go to my Father"}

, , , and then the , , ,

■ Exaltation {Seated at the right hand of the Father}

So?

So full fellowship was fully restored after a very short period of time.

 

Best.

Since you have referenced Ps 72, we see how things are kept in line as follows:

Psa 72:7  In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
 

Psa 72:17  His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

[R. Hartono]

Amen.
