Why does the Bible say that Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when the one on the cross was shouting "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" according to Matthew 27:45 and Mark 15:33?

Mim,so the christ died against his will

the answer to all articles below ,is that you believe that the christ is still God on the cross,the God part didnt leave human part,they were united

Answer 1

When did Jesus shouted this?
it was then, He is in a flesh (human) form..

Answer 2

In the Old Testament there are smatterings of the coming of Christ and the Calcification. Jesus knew that he would die on the cross to save us from sin. So, when the time was near he prayed and wept at Gethsemane. The man on the cross was a robber and because he knew that Jesus was the son of God. Jesus didn't forget him and said, "You shall be with me in paradise. Jesus came for sinners. I hope this helped.

Answer 3

He was quoting scripture.

If you read Psalm 22, you will notice that it starts with the phrase, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (KJV) It then goes on to prophecy about the death of the Messiah in great detail. Jesus was simply telling all of the adult men (and most likely the women too), who in that time would know scripture by heart, which prophecy He was fulfilling at that very moment. This would include things such as "a reproach of men, and despised of the people," "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint," "assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet," "I may tell all my bones," and "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture." (all KJV) These describe crucifixion extremely accurately centuries before crucifixion was an accepted punishment, as well as parts of His particular crucifixion. If you haven't read this psalm yet, I suggest you do. You will understand much better.

For those who say that it was the weak human part of Him, I won't say that's wrong. But His reason for stating those particular words were to silence the priests who kept saying, "He trusted in God; let him deliver him now..." (Matt 27:43, KJV. Compare with Psalm 22:8, "He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him." (KJV)

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 4

Jesus made himself to be like man in every way. He experienced our sorrows, joys, and pain. He held himself to be that perfect man who would be the perfect sacrifice. So completely had he made the separation from the Father that he felt the loneliness of abandonment, for the fullness of God can not dwell in the presence of evil. He took upon himself the guilt of our sins and paid the price on our behalf. As hard as all this was for him to bear, he knew it to be God's will.

Answer 5

on the cross Jesus was quoting from psalm 22. he did not want to die that way but accepted it was God's plan for our salvation

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, and am not silent.

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the praise of Israel. [a]

4 In you our fathers put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.

5 They cried to you and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by men and despised by the people.

Answer 6

Because it was a prophetic statement. There is a lot more to that. I will try to explain it.

But first, the prophecy of that statement:
Psalm 22
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

The entire Psalm was telling of what would happen to Jesus. The Psalm is often said to reveal Jesus as the 'Suffering Servant'. The one who, though blameless, would suffer for sin. So He was to die a bloody death, and his shed blood was typified by the sacrifices at the temple detailed in the Old Testament.

By his shedding of blood, he made a covering for sin; 'kapareth' in Hebrew, which means covering, thereby being the propitiation for sin.

One good place to read about this is in Philippians 2:

6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This is also explained in the Book of Hebrews, a very good book to read in the Bible, because it tells of those "types and shadows" of things to come which are found in Jesus Christ.

Here is the reason why Jesus had to suffer in the way that he did:

Hebrews 2
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

I could go into so much more, but just to make sure that you got the answer to your question, it was to fulfill the prophecy, yet also to illustrate in his agony that he was forsaken by God to take the punishment for those he desired. He took the punishment in the place of we who were to trust him for that sacrifice.

Answer 7

Jesus was born into this world as one of us and had "fear" like any human being
