Christ would be deserted by God

The face of God was turned-not so much from His Only Begotten Son in Whom He delighted, but in all the sin of all humanity who has ever lived, piled up on one Person.

He literally took our sin and made it His sin. He totally identified with it, and took all upon Himself, as if He, Himself was the one who did it.

All of the world's rebellion, arrogance, cowardliness, hatred, and hypocrisy were piled on Him. The sight was so filthy that God turned His head away. Surely this was the pinnacle of the suffering which Jesus endured on the cross.

Prophecy: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Psalm 22:1).

Fulfilment: "Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?" (Matthew 27:46).
