The Father's Acceptance
Commentators emphasize that in its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, this verse shows that God the Father did not reject His Son's suffering on the cross. Instead, He accepted it as the perfect and complete sacrifice for sin. While men despised the afflicted Messiah, the Father accepted His work as a 'full satisfaction for sin,' making our redemption possible.
