Answered in 1 source

God actively presided over the events of the cross, fulfilling His sovereign purpose.

At the cross, God's sovereign participation is evident as He not only orchestrated the events but also actively engaged in the affliction of His Son. In Lamentations 1:12, we see that the Lord afflicted Christ in a day of fierce anger, indicating that Christ’s suffering served to execute God’s plan for redemption. God was not a distant observer; He was in control, ensuring the fulfillment of prophecy and the realization of His redemptive purposes. This active participation reaffirms God's sovereignty and assures believers that their salvation was secured by God's plan, demonstrating His relentless love and justice.
