How does Christ's body being broken relate to our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's broken body signifies the fulfillment of the sacrificial system, securing our salvation.

The breaking of Christ's body represents the ultimate sacrifice He made for our sins. Scripture shows that the physical sacrifices of the old covenant could not take away sins, but by offering Himself, Christ fulfilled the requirements for atonement. His body was prepared not only to represent the reality of the sacrificial system but to signify how He bore the wrath of God for us. The significance of 'for you' in His sacrifice encapsulates the heart of the gospel; it is through Christ's brokenness that we gain access to God's grace and eternal life. We are invited to remember that through His body given for us, He bore our sins and reconciled us to God.
