As the Logos, Jesus was never abandoned by God. Jesus, who was God, suffered no damage to his divine nature on the cross. Christ was abandoned by God neither with regard to the union of the two natures nor with regard to divine grace. It is true that he went through the experience of suffering. However, the ancient church was in agreement that Christ’s cry was not to be understood as an expression of deepest despair but was to be interpreted in terms of the victory to which his death on the cross leads.<ref>Ulrich Luz, Matthew 21–28: a Commentary, ed.

''The Spirit left Him, in the garden of Gethsemane. He had to die, a man. Remember, friends, He didn't have to do that. That was God. God anointed that flesh, which was human flesh. And He didn't… If He'd have went up there, as God, He'd have never died that kind of death; can't kill God. But He didn't have to do it.<ref>It Is The Rising Of The Sun 65-0418M</ref> | ''The Spirit left Him, in the garden of Gethsemane. He had to die, a man. Remember, friends, He didn't have to do that.
