Why did Christ willingly go to the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Christ went to the cross for the joy set before Him, as He accomplished God's plan of redemption for His people.

Christ's willingness to endure the cross is attributed to the joy set before Him, a joy derived from accomplishing the mission that was laid out for Him in eternity. Hebrews 12:2 reveals that He endured the cross, despising its shame, for the sake of the joy of redeeming His people. This mission was not only about His suffering but also about fulfilling God's promise to bring about salvation, making His humility and obedience central to the gospel narrative.
