A Satisfying Sacrifice
Commentators emphasize that Christ's suffering was not a tragedy without purpose. He sees the result—the salvation of countless people—and is "satisfied." Like a farmer seeing a full harvest after intense labor, Christ views the redemption of many as a glorious outcome that makes His immense "travail" worthwhile. His sacrifice was guaranteed to succeed.
