In obedience to the Father's plan, Christ willingly submitted Himself to His Passion, which involved great suffering up to and upon the Cross.
He commended His life to the Father, and as the account in St. John's Gospel makes clear, He knew full well His purpose for enduring His passion.
Because of His submission, He became the Source of Salvation.
So the ignominious Cross has become an instrument of grace and triumph, because God redeemed us through it, and as the coming part of the Triduum makes clear, death is not the end of the story.
