How do we know Jesus' sacrifice was intentional?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that Jesus' death was a deliberate act of obedience to God's predetermined plan for redemption.

Jesus' crucifixion was not an accident or a tragic turn of events but rather the culmination of God's redemptive plan. Acts 2:23 states that Jesus was delivered by the 'determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God.' This reinforces the belief that His sacrifice was ordained from eternity, fulfilling the prophecies and the requirements for atonement. His statement in John 10:18, where He declares that no one takes His life from Him but that He lays it down of His own accord, affirms His conscious choice to be the sacrifice for sin.
