Matthew 27:46: Difference between revisions

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.
