What does the Bible say about Jesus' suffering on the cross?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible reveals that Jesus' suffering on the cross was a fulfillment of prophecy, where he bore the sins of his people (Psalm 22, Matthew 27).

The suffering of Jesus on the cross is thoroughly documented in scripture, particularly in Psalm 22, which is often referred to as the 'Psalm of the Cross'. This Psalm, penned by King David under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, begins with the words, 'My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?', a direct prophecy fulfilled by Christ during his crucifixion (Matthew 27:46). Jesus did not suffer merely as a martyr; rather, his agony represented the depths of despair due to the imputed sins of his people, a fate that was preordained by God before the foundation of the world. This underscores the essential Reformed belief that the cross was the pivotal moment in the unfolding of God's plan for salvation.
