Fulfilling God's Word
Commentators emphasize that Paul's phrase "fulfilled all that was written of him" is crucial. It shows that Jesus's death and burial were not a tragic defeat but the precise fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. As John Calvin notes, this transforms the shame of the cross into a powerful demonstration of God's sovereign plan, proving Jesus was obeying His Father's decree.
