Mark and Matthew reported that Jesus said, “My god, my God, why have you forsaken me?” just before he died. Luke and John do not report that he said that but to me it demonstrates that he really did suffer; otherwise you might think that God protected him from the pain but he had to really suffer the pain to pay the price for our sins. Other views expressed by the group includes the thought that as all the sin came upon Christ, God could not be present, could not look upon sin, and had to leave him for a time. That view also supports the requirement that Jesus had to suffer and even know fear.
