It was God’s will for Christ to die for our sins and redeem us.
Jesus said to Pilate that, he, Pilate didn’t have the power to condem him to death unless it were given above.
Had Pilate been successful in having Jesus released there might have been no atonement for our sins.
All happened because God ordained it so.
This is pretty much the bottom line. The rest is academic.
Yep. Psalms 22 describes the event 1000 years before it happened.
