The prophet Isaiah foretold the suffering of Christ, the servant anointed. Even if He was someone to be avoided, He took on our sins, and would be acclaimed by God.
As the Gospel according to St. John recounts, Jesus fully knew His purpose, which was clear from the moment when the band came to arrest Him, to His declaration about Truth before Pilate.
Ultimately, witnesses to His execution, and even the flow of blood and water, testified to the Truth, which He is, so that we would come to believe.
And we come to believe that Christ took on our sins, and provided us a way to be restored to right relationship with the Father. So we continue to honor the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
