Why did Jesus choose to suffer instead of seeking relief on the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus chose to endure suffering on the cross to fulfill God's will and the Scriptures, demonstrating His commitment to redeem humanity.

In refusing relief from His suffering, as seen in Matthew 27:34 where He rejected the vinegar mixed with gall, Jesus exemplified His mission to endure the full extent of human suffering and divine wrath. His refusal shows His obedience to God's plan, as He came to bear the penalty for sin and complete the work of salvation. This act of enduring pain rather than seeking comfort highlights His profound love for humanity and commitment to fulfilling all that was written about Him in the Scriptures, aligning with the purpose of His earthly ministry.
