How does God's sovereignty relate to the events of the cross?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty orchestrated the events of the cross to fulfill His eternal purpose of salvation.

God's sovereignty is clearly depicted in the events surrounding the cross of Christ. As described in the sermon, the plans of men, whether those of the Scribes and Pharisees or Absalom, ultimately play into God's predetermined plan. Acts 2 outlines how the crucifixion was part of God's determinate counsel, showing that even the evil intentions of the conspirators served to fulfill God's redemptive purpose. This sovereignty assures believers that nothing occurs outside of God's sovereign will, which includes the suffering and death of Christ as necessary for our salvation. The very act that seemed like a failure was, in fact, the ultimate victory over sin and death, showcasing the greatness of God's plan to save His people.
