How do we know Christ's suffering is meaningful?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's suffering is meaningful as it fulfills prophecy and secures our salvation.

Christ's suffering has profound meaning, as evidenced in Psalm 16 and its New Testament application. The Apostle Peter quotes Psalm 16 during Pentecost, linking it to the resurrection of Christ, indicating that David was prophesying about Jesus and His sufferings. Christ's endurance of suffering and His eventual resurrection demonstrate that His pain was for a purpose. His suffering on the cross paid the penalty for our sins, providing a way for us to experience eternal life and joy in God's presence. Thus, the suffering of Christ is not in vain but is central to the redemptive narrative of Scripture.
