Jesus Cries Out to God on the Cross
The Tension
About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'
Analysis
Jesus calls out to God for help, suggesting he is not the omnipotent deity.
Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
He was fulfilling prophecy (Psalms 22)
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Jesus's cry shows his dependence on God, inconsistent with being God himself.
