Wasn't he sure of himself and his "plan"?
Perhaps he doubted he was the son of God?

Hi à¸à¸£à¸°à¸à¸²à¸à¸ªà¸¡à¹à¸à¹à¸à¸à¸£à¸°à¸à¸£à¸¡à¸¢. The bible is crystal clear that Jesus Christ is eternal God. He was crucified be cause he said he was the son of God. In John 19: 7, God tells us “The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” Jesus was crucified because he was insisting he was God and He was God.
In Hebrews 1:8 we read, “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.” We read in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” So Christ is God. There's no question about that.
In Matthew 3:16-17 when Christ was baptized there was a voice from Heaven saying, “This is my beloved son, hear ye Him.” Yet in John 10:30 Jesus declares "I and My Father are one.” How can He be the Father and the Son? This is something else we don't understand.
There are those who want to make Christ into only a man. Those people have no savior then. They are still in their sins. They are on their way to eternal damnation. What a terrible place to be.
So why did Jesus cry out “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?"
How can God forsake God? We may never know the answer to this question., Our human minds were not created big enough to understand the concept of eternal God who is infinite in His nature and His being. but what we can know is when Christ was forsaken by God, He was under the wrath of God and was paying for the sins of those he came to save. We read at the end of Christ's crucifixtion in (John 19:30)"It is finished"
There are all kinds of people who don't believe in God. They are not reading the Bible, trusting that it is the Word of God. They take a sentence here and a sentence there and isolate it from its context and they say, “You see, from this verse I can tell you that Christ is not God.” That's why we need to compare scripture with scripture. Compare each verse with the rest of the Bible.

Because at that very moment, He (Jesus) took on all of the sins of man. Sin to God the Father is an abomination, any and all sin.
Jesus (the Son) was so close with His Father (they are one) and His will that He (Jesus) could feel God (the Father) turned away because he (Jesus) had just taken all of our sins upon Himself.
God doesn't walk away from us, we walk away from him. When we sin, He will turn away but not walk away.

when sin came upon Jesus, the perfect relationship between Him and God was temporarily broken. This relationship was utmost to Jesus. He felt "forsaken" due to God turning His back on Him, since God hates sin and this separates Him from mankind (Isaiah 59:2)
When Jesus was resurrected, this was restored.

This is the moment that Jesus literally became sin. He took on the sins of every human being. The holy Father God, had to look away.

On the Cross Jesus was not asking, "Father, why have you forsaken?" He was reciting a common Jewish prayer, Psalm 22.
It is a matter of faith not a question of doubt.

Because God basically block Jesus out, God was in pain, waiting for it to be over.
Jesus was in pain, suffering, and at that time did not feel the father, Jesus felt alone, but he knew he was the son of God.
What Jesus didn't know at that time was God did feel Jesus pain, God try blocking it out, yes it was to much for God since his feelings,and pain is greater than ours, I can't imagine the pain.

because Jesus was fulfilling the prophecy in Pslams 22, He was forsaken at the moment He became sin. because His Father never has known sin. but with His words it is finished He was restored to His Father.

Good question...because for that moment in time, Jesus became our sin, and therefore for that second, he was separated from God. This is why he is called our "redeemer." He traded his immortal body and life as redemption (payment) for our sins. And this is why his death is so incredibly important because he defeated death and sin, and ultimately Satan by being resurrected.

He was teaching from the cross!
Psalms 22
1:My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
