Why did Jesus say, “Why have you forsaken me my god?” moments before his death? This was uttered at the peak of Jesus’s pain and suffering. His Father had taken all HIS protection away from Jesus to prove to the world and the devil that a sinless man could and would remain faithful to his very last breath regardless of any pain or pressure. If one will recall the challenge laid forth in the Book of Job. Job 2:3–6 Any bible version 3 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason.” 4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.” 6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.” The devil was not allowed to take this to its final conclusion with Job. Jesus had no such protection and felt that His Father had left Him to go the distance on His own. Jesus remained faithful to His death, proving that a man could do this and answering that final accusation the devil made so long ago.
