How does Jesus' suffering relate to our happiness?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' suffering on the cross ensures that believers will never face the ultimate anguish they deserve, allowing for true happiness in Him.

The suffering of Jesus Christ is pivotal to understanding our happiness as believers. His cry of anguish, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' signifies the depth of His suffering for our sins. Through His sacrifice, He bore the pain and separation that we deserve, ensuring that we can experience true happiness and peace. Unlike the 'strange children' who face the ultimate consequences of sin, believers are secured in Christ’s love and grace, granting them a future devoid of sorrow and grief. In essence, Christ's redemptive work removes the threat of eternal unhappiness, giving us assurance of our joy in Him, now and forever.
