As has been said many times before Planten, Jesus did not simply forget this time to call him Father. He was quoting Psalm 22 which is a prophecy of his crucifixion and the subsequent spread of God’s word throughout the whole world in the form of Christianity. That psalm starts with the words - My God, my God why have you foresaken me ? All of the gospel writers present Jesus’ words in that way.**
It was Jesus alright on the cross. It was Jesus who yelled to his God “O my God, O My God, Why have you forsaken me??” (At that time he forgot to call him the Father.) **
The Psalm 22 writes in verse 15 - ‘And You lay me in the dust of death’. ‘Death’ Planten not ‘almost death’. The psalm goes on to say from verse 27 that - “All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is the LORD’S and He rules over the nations”.
Sound familiar Planten ? It is Christianity.
And this psalm was written 1000 years before the crucifixion and mentioned by Jesus on the cross and known and quoted by the apostles and the early church as a confirmation of their faith. With the ressurrection of Jesus, this psalm makes sense. How can someone by lain in the dust of death and yet still praise God and through him bring the world to God ? 1000 years after it was written we got the answer.
God had answered the Jewish prayers of lament and worry and despair by taking the form of man and partaking in that condition and rising from the dead to give hope and life.
That is Christianity Planten.
