QUESTION: Why did Jesus say, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34)

ANSWER: Jesus had not lost faith in his heavenly Father. God abandoned Jesus to his enemies by taking away His protection so that Christ's integrity might be fully tested. God allowed him to face trials on his own. Jesus suffered so much emotional distress that "his sweat became as drops of blood falling to the ground"! (Luke 22:44) Despite everything he suffered, and although Satan made an all-out effort to turn him away from Jehovah, Jesus proved faithful to his God. And by crying out as he did, Jesus also fulfilled -  Psalm 22:1.
