How do we know Jesus' sacrifice was predetermined?

The predetermined nature of Jesus' sacrifice is affirmed in several passages of Scripture. Acts 4:27-28 states that the Jewish leaders, Gentiles, and Pilate conspired against Jesus to do whatever God's hand and purpose had predestined to occur. This reveals the profound truth that nothing in the death of Christ was an accident; it was the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan conceived before time began. Furthermore, Jesus Himself stated in Mark 10:33-34 that He would be delivered to the chief priests, condemned to death, and then delivered to the Gentiles, indicating His full awareness and acceptance of His role in this divine purpose.
