How do we know Jesus endured suffering for our sake?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' suffering is explicitly tied to our redemption, as he endured the cross and opposition to bring an everlasting righteousness for His people (Hebrews 12:2).

Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, and His life and sufferings were not for Himself but for us, His people. Hebrews 12:2 emphasizes that He endured the cross, despising the shame, for the joy set before Him. This joy refers to the salvation of His people, which He accomplished through His suffering. Thus, when we consider what Jesus endured, we see that it was not merely for His own sake but for the salvation and justification of all who believe in Him.
