What does the Bible say about why Jesus had to suffer?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus had to suffer because it was essential for the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

The necessity of Christ's suffering is central to the Gospel, as He indicated in Luke 9:22, stating that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected. This suffering was necessary to accomplish the Father's will and to ensure the salvation of the elect. Through His suffering and subsequent resurrection, Jesus secured victory over sin and death, affirming God's righteousness. His pain was not merely a tragic event, but a divinely appointed means to bring about redemption for sinners, demonstrating both His love and the seriousness of sin.
