At the cross, Jesus cried out:
“My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” — Matthew 27:46

Many assume this proves separation between Jesus and another divine being. But look deeper…

Jesus was quoting Psalm 22:1, a prophetic psalm describing the suffering Messiah.
He wasn’t confused. He was revealing His identity through Scripture, even in agony.

So, to whom did He cry?

He cried out in His human nature, not because He stopped being God, but because He was fully experiencing what we deserve—separation, pain, and judgment.

Yet God was still in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19).
There was no division in the Godhead—only the suffering of the flesh.

This cry wasn’t from a second divine being to another—but the Lamb slain, expressing the depths of love, fulfilling prophecy, and opening salvation.

One God. One plan. One sacrifice.
The same God who felt the pain is the God who forgave from the cross.
