How do we know that Christ's death fulfilled God's purpose?

Throughout the scripture, particularly in Mark 14 and Acts 2, we see the fulfillment of God's predetermined plan in the death of Christ. The chief priests and scribes plotted to kill Jesus, but their actions were part of God’s sovereign plan. Acts 2:23 highlights this by referencing Jesus being delivered 'by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God.' This shows that Christ's death was not an accident or a defeat but rather the very purpose for which He came, to redeem His chosen people from their sins. This sovereign orchestration demonstrates the complexity of divine sovereignty and human responsibility, where even the wicked intentions of man serve to glorify God’s redemptive plan.
