Answer:
God did not forsake Jesus, nor does he forsake any of man. Just before Jesus' death, Jesus prepared for his death by taking in the sin of all mankind. Sin is the act of turning away from God. By taking in all of mankind's sin, Jesus felt a temporary absence of God, causing him to cry out in anguish. It felt to Jesus as if God was no longer there.
Answer 2:
many of you guys have the right answer. but when Jesus had died on the cross, did he forsake him? the reason why God had looked away from Jesus was because he had carried all of our sins so that we wouldn't have too. I really don't know how to put it into more detail though. It probably sounds confusing but if you have someone explain it to you then you may understand easier. Anyway, God cannot look upon sin. that is why He had forsaken him.
I hope you get what your looking for in these answers. And not just what i said but from anybody ;)
Jesus was forsaken because in that terrible moment He was bearing the sins of the world. He thus 'became sin' who Himself had committed no sin so that we could be free from both the penalty and the power of sin. A Holy God cannot abide sin and so the Father had to 'turn His back' on His only Son. This is an amazing and yet terrible fact which shows both the awfulness of sin as well as the length God went to in seeking to redeem lost mankind.
Jesus was thus utterly forsaken and alone on the cross, so that we might not be forsaken and alone when we have to give account before God at the final judgment.
Jesus was outcasted simply because people were intimidated by his power. Kings of that time felt threatened by him. Also, because he was identified with the outcasts of his time, including the sick, criminals, blind, handicapped, etc. Jesus included people that everybody else left out
God did not forsake Jesus. God would never forsake anyone. When Jesus cried out in the garden "God, why have you forsaken me," imagine his feelings. He was being tempted by Satan and he knew he was about to die. But God was with him through him through it all like he is with you and me.
One of the enduring benefits of religious belief is that it can provide comfort in times of need. The converse of this, unfortunately, is that when divine assistance inevitably fails to materialise, there can be a sense of disappointment, even a feeling of being abandoned or forsaken. Some will say that we can not know the will of God, nor why he chooses to ignore our prayers. Others will say that you have not been forsaken, because there is no God. At this point you do not need to know which of these answers is closer to the real truth. You do need to know that the failure of divine assistance to materialise does not mean you are unworthy. You need to look further for the help you need. Perhaps, depending on the nature of the problem, you could talk to a clergyman, a counsellor, a doctor or even a trusted friend. Find out what you, yourself, can do to create a better future for yourself.
According to Mark's Gospel, Jesus said to his Father, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me," just before he died on the cross. In Mark's Gospel, Jesus was adopted by God as his son at the time of his baptism, but he was just a man even if he could do some wondrous deeds. Jesus even denies being God, in Mark 10:18 (Why call me good. There is none good but God.). Being just a man, he might have hoped for God to save him from crucifixion, but it was not to be.
Matthew's Gospel is a more spiritual gospel, and says that Jesus is the Son of God from his conception, but follows Mark in having Jesus say "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me."
Luke's Gospel also has Jesus Jesus as the Son of God from his conception, but its author was uncomfortable with Jesus' last words suggesting that he felt abandoned, as portrayed in Mark. Instead, Jesus says, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" as he died.
According to John's Gospel, Jesus was truly divine and pre-existing since before creation. Jesus knew of his mission before he came to earth, so had no reason to feel abandoned. Even the fatalistic words Jesus spoke in Luke's Gospel do not satisfy this scenario. Since this was the end of Jesus' earthly mission, he simply said, "It is finished" and then died.
Another Answer:
Before He became a man named Jesus, the son of God, He was the Word and was always with God the Father from the beginning (John 1:1-3). He became Jesus, the son of God and son of Man when the Father begot Him. He grew into a mature man and prayed incessantly to the Father - always in close contact. All that He did, He did via the Father. This is a closeness few if any can understand.
When the time came for all the sins of the world to fall upon Him, the Father in pure righteousness could not look upon this blackness. He turned away for a moment and this totally distressed Jesus as it would anyone of us who can understand this close bond. For the 1st time in eternity, Jesus was alone and cried out to His Father. Regardless of foreknowledge of what would happen, He experienced the loneliness this great cause had placed upon Him. Yet, always submissive and obedient to the Father, even this price was paid for His future brothers and sisters as the Father's will is to have a family and this is our great purpose in life. Surely this is LOVE (agape)!
In the Christian religion, Judas is the infamous betrayer of the saviour Jesus Christ.
If you believe the passage in The Bible, the central Christian religious text, that God designs each baby in the womb, and knows exactly what that baby's life will be like, and therefor designs them with the knowledge of what they will do (designs them specifically for their life, knowing exactly what that design will cause them to do), then the simple answer is God needed a traitor, since without one the story would be a lot lamer. If God hadn't designed Judas to betray Jesus, then he'd have to have someone else do it, because if Jesus wasn't betrayed for crucifiction, then there would be no 'salvation.' Judas later, grief stricken about what he had done, flung his money at the Pharisees and hung himself. If you believe the Bible, there is no alternate belief than "Judas was engineered to forsake Jesus."
Jesus thought God had forsaken him because of the pain that he was going through.
To pay the ultimate price for our sins.
Judas betrayed Jesus once. Peter denied Jesus 3 times.
Jesus had two disciples called Judas. One was Judas Iscariot, the other was just called Judas. Judas Iscariot is not known as Jesus brother, actually, he was the follower of Jesus that betrayed him to the Pharisees.

No. Judas means 'The praise of the Lord.' And Jesus means 'Savior.'

Judas Maccabeus was a Jewish military leader who led a rebellion against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BC.
