How do we know the sovereignty of God is true in the betrayal of Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is evidenced in the way Jesus willingly goes to the cross, fully aware of His betrayal.

The doctrine of God's sovereignty is profoundly illustrated in the account of Jesus' betrayal. Throughout John 18, we see that Jesus was not taken by surprise; He knows all that is to happen, demonstrating His omniscience. Even in His arrest, Jesus voluntarily steps forward, asking the soldiers whom they seek. This act underscores His control over the situation, as He dismisses His disciples to fulfill the prophecy that none whom the Father has given Him would be lost. This narrative reinforces the Reformed understanding that God's sovereign will orchestrates all events for His glory and the salvation of His people.
