How do we know Christ's suffering in Gethsemane was significant?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's suffering was significant as it was the precursor to His atoning death, revealing the depth of His commitment to God’s plan.

The significance of Christ's suffering in Gethsemane is profound as it highlights the depths of His commitment to fulfilling the Father's will. In Matthew and Mark, it is recorded that He prayed three times for the cup to be passed from Him, indicating the heavy burden of sin He was about to bear. This moment is not merely an act of suffering but a display of His obedience and love for the Father, affirming His role as the sacrificial Lamb for all who believe. The agony Jesus experienced was not just physical but spiritual, as He anticipated being made sin and bearing the wrath of God against sin.
