God's Wise Plan in Suffering
Commentators emphasize that Jesus' suffering was not a tragic accident but a deliberate and "fitting" part of God's wise plan. For God, the creator and purpose of all things, it was appropriate to perfect the leader of our salvation through suffering. This reveals that the cross, which might seem like a weakness, was actually a profound display of divine purpose and wisdom in bringing many children to glory.
