Jesus was cursed so we could be blessed.
Scripture tells us that Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. Jesus was crucified and died in our place so that we could experience reconciliation with God. There's a certain amount of mystery to what Jesus said in that moment, but in some deep, spiritual way that is beyond my natural comprehension, He experienced the Father's hatred for sin and some form of temporary spiritual separation that I'm not convinced I can fully understand or explain. This was done, however, so that we wouldn't need to experience an eternity of separation from our Creator. Jesus was cursed so that we could be blessed.
