How do we know the sorrow of Christ is for our sins?

The sorrow of Christ, referred to as the 'man of sorrows,' points directly to the weight of our transgressions upon Him. Isaiah 53:6 states, 'All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.' This profound moment speaks to the depths of His suffering, not for any sin of His own but for the collective sin of humanity. His anguish in Gethsemane and at the cross symbolizes the seriousness of our offenses against God, illustrating how vital His sacrifice is for our redemption.
