What does it mean that God is pleased to bruise His Son?

Answered in 1 source

It means that God ordained Christ's suffering as a necessary part of redemption for His people, fully satisfying divine justice.

The statement that 'it pleased the Lord to bruise him' refers to God's design in the suffering of Jesus Christ, as outlined in Isaiah 53:10. This passage reveals that God found satisfaction in the redemptive work of His Son, who bore the sins of His people. The righteousness and justice of God required a substitute to atone for sin, and Jesus, being sinless, was made sin for us. The Father's pleasure in Bruising His Son underscores the gravity of sin and the magnitude of His mercy, indicating that God upholds His justice while also providing a means of salvation. Thus, through His suffering, Christ accomplished redemption, pleasing the Father by fulfilling His divine purpose.
