Commentators explain that Christ's ultimate triumph is the direct reward for His suffering. His 'portion with the great' and 'spoil with the strong' are not worldly riches, but the salvation of countless souls and the defeat of sin, death, and Satan. His exaltation is inseparable from His humiliation on the cross, where He poured out His life for us.
