Subject: Jesus felt divine abandonment not knowing that it was God plan for the Holy Spirit to teach us through what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ felt on the cross if we leave earth without God He will feel divine abandonment for eternity that’s not the will of God for our souls if any of our souls go to hell to be cast into the lake of fire, it’s our fault.
Let’s notice this on purpose Jesus did not have a problem with laying his life down it was the divine abandonment that he felt living in sinistry is satan spiritual warfare tactic against us being saved from our sins until we pass away is our real warfare tactic against those evil entities.
Matthew 27:46
At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”[b]
Divine story time.
Matthew 27:46 records around 3 p.m. while on the cross, representing the climax of His suffering and separation from the Father. This cry fulfills the prophecy in Psalm 22:1, highlighting His voluntary, substitutionary atonement for humanity’s sin.
Psalms 22:1
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?
Divine story time.
Psalm 22:1 is a messianic psalm written by David (c. 1010–970 B.C.) expressing profound agony, divine abandonment, and unanswered prayer. While rooted in David's personal suffering, it prophetically depicts the suffering of Jesus on the cross, including crucifixion details, mockery, and the intense experience of bearing sin for humanity.
Reflecting on Jesus' cry of divine abandonment, it's striking to consider how this moment reveals the depth of His sacrifice and the complexity of spiritual warfare. When Jesus said, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” He was expressing the overwhelming experience of separation from the Father—a profound spiritual suffering that surpassed physical pain. What resonates with me is the teaching that this feeling was not random but part of God’s divine plan. It emphasized that Jesus willingly bore the burden of sin and separation so humanity could be redeemed. As someone who has personally struggled with moments of feeling spiritually distant or abandoned, this passage brings hope: even Jesus experienced this, yet it led to ultimate redemption. Moreover, understanding this moment as a form of spiritual warfare highlights how evil seeks to separate us from God, using abandonment and despair as tactics to discourage faith. Recognizing this can empower believers to stand firm during their own times of spiritual trial. From a practical standpoint, embracing the lesson in Jesus’ experience teaches us to persevere through hardship, knowing that feeling alone or forsaken is not the end but part of a journey towards spiritual growth and salvation. It also reminds us of the importance of interceding for ourselves and others, offering prayers that overcome feelings of abandonment through faith and hope. Finally, the connection to Psalm 22 is a powerful reminder of the fulfillment of prophecy and God’s sovereignty, reassuring us that even in moments of despair, God’s overarching plan for salvation and love remains intact.
