What does it mean that Christ's body was broken?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's body being broken refers to the suffering He endured for our sins, fulfilling God's redemptive plan.

The phrase 'this is my body which is broken for you' speaks to the profound suffering that Christ endured on our behalf. Although Scripture records that not a bone of His body was broken, the true essence of His brokenness is found in the agony of bearing the sins of His people. This moment highlights the reality of our sinful condition and Christ's willingness to take upon Himself the punishment that we deserved. By understanding His brokenness in this light, we grasp the depth of God’s love and the lengths to which He went to secure our salvation, culminating in His willing sacrifice as the Redeemer for sinners. Therefore, this 'brokenness' serves as a powerful reminder of the high cost of our redemption.
