What does it mean that it pleased God to bruise Christ?

Answered in 1 source

It indicates God's sovereign will in salvation, showing that the suffering of Christ was essential for fulfilling His plan of redemption.

The phrase 'it pleased God to bruise Christ' reveals the profound paradox of divine salvation. It means that God was satisfied with the suffering of Christ because it achieved the purpose of redeeming His chosen people. This bruising was not an act of divine cruelty but a demonstration of God's justice and mercy, working in tandem. Christ’s suffering was necessary for the fulfillment of prophecy and for the satisfaction of divine wrath against sin. Through this act, God demonstrates His sovereignty and the depth of His love for His elect.
