Scripture consistently points to Jesus’ death as part of God’s eternal plan of salvation, as seen in prophetic writings and apostolic teaching.
The ordination of Jesus' death by God is explicitly presented in biblical texts. Acts 4:27-28 illustrates that the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion were foretold, fulfilled by the very hands of those who acted against Him. Moreover, Isaiah 53:10 declares that it was God who bruised His Son, affirming that God’s will was being executed through the events of the crucifixion. The narrative of Jesus' suffering aligns with the prophetic statements made throughout the Old Testament, showing a coherent and divinely orchestrated plan of salvation that was in place long before Christ's arrival. Thus, the certainty of His death being ordained by God is rooted in both specific prophecies and the theological implications drawn from these textually evident truths.
