What does the Bible say about the suffering of Christ?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible describes Christ's suffering as a necessary sacrifice for our sins, fulfilling God's justice and providing redemption.
The suffering of Christ is profoundly depicted in Psalm 22, where King David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, portrays the anguish and torment faced by the Messiah. This Psalm, often referred to as the Psalm of the Cross, illustrates how Christ, as our great high priest, bore the sins of His people by drinking the cup of God’s wrath. His suffering was not just physical but also a deep, spiritual agony as He experienced separation from the Father due to our sins being imputed to Him. This essential aspect of redemption shows that through His suffering, He satisfied divine justice and thus made a way for our justification before God.
