Jesus in Mark 15 shouts out loudly “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” [“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”] and Mark quotes Psalm 22:1 as a cross reference. There are three ways to look at this.

It was a coincidence that Jesus and David said the same words for each of their situations. I think option #3 is correct. We all call out to G-d when we are overwhelmed and think G-d is not helping us. Christians believe Option #1 is correct. Let us see if this is the case. All Images are links to Google Images.
