What does the Bible say about Jesus' necessity to suffer?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus had to suffer many things because He was fulfilling God's purpose of redemption for His elect.

The suffering of Jesus is imperative as He carries the sins of His people. In Matthew 16:21, Jesus reveals that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer, and be killed, which underscores the necessity of His sacrifice for our salvation. Christ, the only one who did not deserve death, must die so that His elect would not face eternal death and alienation from God. His suffering was essential not just for His death, but also for His resurrection, affirming His victory over sin and death once all sin is accounted for.
