How do we know that Christ's crucifixion was part of God's divine plan?

Answered in 1 source

We understand that Christ's crucifixion was divinely ordained from before the foundation of the world, as shown in 1 Corinthians 2.

The crucifixion of Christ was not merely an unfortunate event but part of God's sovereign and eternal plan. In 1 Corinthians 2, Paul indicates that had the rulers of this age understood the true nature of Christ, they would never have crucified Him. This suggests that God, in His wisdom, concealed this truth from them to fulfill His purpose for redemption. The plan for Christ's atonement was ordained before the foundation of the world, showcasing God's love and mercy towards His people. As Romans 8:28 teaches, God works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose, including the pivotal event of Christ’s crucifixion.
