Mark 15:34, 2 Corinthians 5:19 & John 14:9-10
...And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
This is often referred to as, "the cry of abandonment." Perceived to be the cry of the God-forsaken Christ, Even the use of Eloi captures a change of relationship between Jesus and His Father. It’s a formal name rather than the more intimate one that Jesus uses at other times. As with the story of Abraham, and his intended sacrifice of his son Isaac, the whole idea of a Father abandoning his son is one that people struggle with. So what exactly is going on here?
