Have we misunderstood one of the most powerful words ever spoken by Jesus?


On the Cross, at the ninth hour, Christ cried out:

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46)


For many, these words raise difficult questions.

Was Jesus truly abandoned?

Did the Father turn away?

Or is there a deeper mystery hidden within this moment?


In this video, we explore the true meaning of Christ’s cry from the Cross through the lens of Holy Scripture, the teaching of the Holy Fathers, and the living tradition of the Malankara Orthodox Church.


This is not a cry of despair—

it is a revelation of divine love,

a fulfillment of prophecy,

and an invitation to understand the Cross more deeply.


🙏 In this message, you will discover:

• The biblical and prophetic meaning of Psalm 22

• The mystery of Christ’s suffering and human experience

• The Orthodox understanding of the Cross and the Holy Trinity

• How this passage speaks to our own moments of silence and struggle


✨ Even in silence, God is never absent.
