Why is it important that Jesus was disallowed and smitten?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus being disallowed and smitten is essential to our salvation, as it signifies that His suffering was necessary for the remission of sin.

1 Peter 2:4 and 1 Peter 2:7 highlight that Jesus was 'disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God.' This rejection by the religious leaders illustrates humanity's failure to recognize divine truth. Moreover, His suffering, depicted in Exodus 17 when the Israelites were instructed to smite the rock, symbolizes Christ being smitten for our sins. Without this act of sacrifice, there can be no remission of sins as emphasized in Hebrews 9:22, making it crucial for our salvation.
