God's sovereignty in Jesus' death is evident as all events were preordained and fulfilled through His sacrifice.
God's sovereignty is profoundly illustrated in the death of Jesus, as every aspect was preordained by Him. The actions of those involved in the crucifixion, including the Roman soldier who pierced Jesus' side, were part of God's divine plan. The fulfillment of scripture regarding Jesus' death and the manner of it—such as His bones not being broken—shows that there were no coincidences or chance events; rather, God orchestrated these events to ensure the redemption of His people. Romans 8:28 underscores that everything advances according to His purpose, confirming His control over all circumstances surrounding the crucifixion.
