"He was the Passover Lamb of God, and Jesus had to meet requirements in order to be that. In addition, the "timing" was precise, too... as He died at the precise time that the Passover Lamb was being killed in the Temple." ~ Star Traveler

GOD had been planning this thing for quite AWHILE. And His plan continues to unfold perfectly!

4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. ~ Ephesians 1

[Kevmo]

The death of Jesus is probably the most well attested event in all of history. Even his enemies acknowledge that he was put to death for blasphemy, for claiming equality with God.

Thank you so much for posting this. I made it a part of a little apologetics course for the Resurrection that I gave to my son and some teens after church today.
