“Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1
Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah, was crucified. His death was premeditated murder. The Jews, His own people hunted Him down and “they plotted to put Him to death.” John 11:53.
But who really killed Jesus? “Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;” Acts 2:23. This verse clearly states that God killed Jesus, and it was premeditated murder for God’s glory.
Now you may be saying, How could a good God kill His only son? God is good, and everything He does is good. He is also a just God, and He demanded justice for our sin. To restore the relationship with us, out of His love, “…He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
