The moment that Jesus said these words was in the hour of his greatest physical and emotional and psychological pain that he'd ever experienced. Everything is being piled on him. The sin of the world is being put on him. He's experiencing the separation of eternal communion that he had shared with the father and the spirit. He's experiencing rejection all around him. Even those that believed in him and loved him and served him and were devoted either were not there because they had abandoned him, or they were standing more at a distance kind of watching.
