What does the Bible say about understanding Jesus's death?

The disciples initially struggled to understand the significance of Jesus's death until the moment of His glorification. In John 12:16, it is noted that 'these things understood not his disciples at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him.' The death of Jesus is not merely an event but the culmination of God’s redemptive plan, demonstrating both His justice and mercy. Only by understanding how His death glorifies God can one grasp the depths of salvation.
