Bible Question: why did jesus think God had forsaken him

Bible Answer: Hi, ministermay!

There was one instance in the universe when Christ was separated from God... He sweated tears of blood, He was deeply moved, He was tormented by the cup that He alone had to partake... many people misunderstand all these previous signs...

Christ knew that He had to absorbe onto His flesh our wicknesses and wickedness... had it been simple a matter of symbolism then why would He go through all the motions, including the crucifixion (He said it more than once: "don't you think that if I asked the Father would not send, instantly, a myriad of angels... [paraphrased])...

In Apocalypse (Revelation) we are told of the Heavenly Jerusalem where nothing impure would be allow to enter into it; Moses was cautioned about the ground about the burning bush; the Hebrew people were cautioned about not ascending onto the mountain when God would give Moses an audience; God even commanded that Moses and those serving did not expose themselves (their garments were open as all robes are)... God would not be exposed to sin--only in the Person of Jesus (who is God incarnate), the sinless God-man, would sin ever reach to God without being complete destruction for the sinners (us!)...

But know that time has no meaning to God, so this could have taken place at the instant that Christ, the man, expired... yet that miniscule separation (which could well have been a fraction of a nano-second) made Christ feel such anguish that He would call out to the Father!

God Bless!
