How do we know that Jesus' betrayal was part of God's plan?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' betrayal was foretold in the Scriptures, fulfilling God's redemptive plan.

The betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot is portrayed in Scripture as a fulfillment of prophetic revelation. In Matthew 26:56, Jesus states that the events occurring are to fulfill the Scriptures, demonstrating that even the most egregious acts against Him were foreordained by God. This connection to prophecy emphasizes the sovereignty of God over human actions, ensuring that nothing occurs outside of His sovereign plan. The understanding of God's sovereignty assures believers that betrayal, though painful, was instrumental in the accomplishment of redemption, and highlights the need for reliance on Him in all circumstances.
