To understand the answer we must go back to the book of Genesis, when God said: Gen 3:15 “it will strike you in the head, and you will strike him in the heel.”
The woman will strike the snake on the head. Because is from the chapter 3 that God started to announce the coming of his servant, taking into consideration that Abraham also said, Genesis 22:8 God Himself shall provide the sacrifice, keyword: “Himself”, meaning that God will manifest Himself in flesh to redeem man from sin, not the devil now, since the devil was already judged, but sin.
Christ must came as an apostle, pastor, prophet, evangelist and teacher executing all these during His earthly ministry as a servant. Now, to understand even deeper how the promise was fulfil, we must know the meaning of the word “ministry” which comes from the Greek word Diakono, meaning "to serve" or doulos, meaning "to serve as a slave”.
So Jesus was the servant, the Minister who came to serve, not to be served. and there is where God Please His Soul.
Now the prophecy reach an important meaning when you read: “whom I have chosen” This opens up a window to think: were there more to choose from? and the answer is yes, but all of those or them should be considered in order to establish on heaven and earth that there was nobody worthy enough to fulfil, no only the prophecy now, but the redemption of everybody willing to accept that sacrifice.
There are more to say and explain, but this is the short answer I can give.
God bless your soul.
