Why the Why?

As Jesus hung on the cross, having been there for 6 hours he cried out in a loud voice 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' (Matthew 27:46). Why did Jesus ask this? What does this cry from the cross reveal about what was happening on the cross? On Good Friday, on the cross of Calvary, this ‘why’ demonstrates that we see Jesus forsaken, Jesus suffered and Jesus trusted.
