God's Purpose in the Pain
The phrase "it pleased the LORD to bruise him" can be jarring. Commentators explain this doesn't mean God delights in suffering itself. Rather, it signifies that Christ's sacrifice was part of God's sovereign and benevolent plan. Scholars like Calvin and Barnes note that God was "pleased" because this act fulfilled His redemptive purpose, satisfied divine justice, and secured the salvation of countless people.
