"What is the meaning of Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani?" @ WWHSS (Alpha)

✔ Answer:
Jesus cried out "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which means "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" in Aramaic. He said this because at that moment, he felt a separation from God the Father due to the weight of the sins of humanity being placed upon Him. Jesus was experiencing the wrath of God as a substitute for those who believe in Him, so that they could be forgiven and have eternal life.

✔ Reference text:
Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Matthew 27:47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, This Man is calling for Elijah!
Matthew 27:48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.
Matthew 27:49 The rest said, Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.
Matthew 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
