How do we know that Christ's suffering glorified God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's suffering glorified God as it fulfilled God's sovereign plan of redemption and demonstrated His love and justice.

In John 12:27-28, we see that Jesus acknowledges his suffering as essential to his mission. When he says, 'For this cause came I unto this hour,' he indicates that his sacrificial death was preordained in God's plan, intended to bring glory to the Father. God's glorification occurs as Jesus, through his obedience and suffering, fulfills the prophecies and provides the atonement for sin, demonstrating His love for humanity. God's voice affirms, 'I have both glorified it and will glorify it again,' signifying that even in Christ's deepest suffering, God's nature as both just and merciful is displayed. Thus, the suffering of Christ is intrinsically tied to the glory of God.
