How do we know that Christ's suffering is significant?

The significance of Christ's suffering lies in its fulfillment of Scripture and God's redemptive plan. As the preacher notes, Christ bore the bitterness of sin on the cross, which in turn led to the sweet aroma of salvation for believers (John 19:39). Each detail of His suffering reflects God's sovereign grace and purpose. The sweetness of myrrh, used in His burial, signifies the beauty of redemption offered through His pain. In this way, we see that His suffering was essential for the salvation of His people, affirming the depths of God's love and grace.
