How do Jesus' sighs relate to His sacrifice on the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' sighs foreshadow His ultimate sacrifice, as He entered into our sorrows to bear sin for humanity.

The sighs of Jesus not only reflect His compassion but also point forward to His sacrificial death on the cross. The final cry of Jesus encapsulates the deep sorrows reflected in His earlier sighs. At Calvary, He bore the full weight of sin and suffering, demonstrating that His empathy was not merely emotional but tangible and redemptive. In bearing our sins, His sighs were absorbed into this greater groan of sorrow, affirming that He steps into our pain to provide a way of reconciliation. Therefore, His sighs invite us to reflect on the depth of His love and sacrifice, reminding us that because He bore our sorrows, we can now approach Him with the assurance of His grace and mercy.
