What benefits do Christians receive from Christ's sorrows?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sorrows provide believers with healing, justification, and a means to understand their own suffering.

Christ's sorrows yield immense benefits for believers, primarily through the atoning work He accomplished on the cross. Isaiah 53:5 states that 'with His stripes we are healed,' indicating that through His suffering, healing—both physical and spiritual—is available to us. Understanding that Christ bore our griefs allows us to grasp the depth of our need for Him and the weight of sin's consequences. Moreover, His anguish paved the way for our justification and reconciliation with God, as many are justified through faith in Him, recognizing that He endured the punishment meant for us. Thus, the suffering of Christ transforms our understanding of suffering; it becomes a pathway to draw nearer to Him and find peace.
