How do we know God ordained the crucifixion of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament affirms that God sovereignly ordained the crucifixion as part of His redemptive plan, as noted in Acts 2:23.

The crucifixion of Christ was not an accident or unintended consequence but was ordained by God. Acts 2:23 makes this clear, stating that Jesus was delivered up by God's predetermined plan and foreknowledge. This event fulfills Old Testament prophecies and showcases God's sovereignty over human actions, even those which appear to be purely evil. The horrific act of crucifying the Son of God was the ultimate expression of divine justice and mercy, fulfilling God's plan for salvation.
