Who Killed Christ?
 

It should not surprise us that rather than being
taken by surprise and against His will, Jesus
Christ, being obedient unto death, submitted
to the Father’s plan, and willingly allowed His
execution at the hands of wicked men.

John 10:17-18
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I
lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down
of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I
have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father.

Hebrews 10:9-10
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O
God. By the which will we are sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus
Christ once for all.

Though the execution of Christ was predetermined
by the Father and submitted to by
the Son, the actual events began to unfold as
Satan himself began to fulfill God’s first
prophetic statement from Genesis 3:15.
 

Luke 22:3,4
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed
Iscariot. And he … communed with the
chief priests and captains, how he might
betray him unto them.

John 13:27; 18:3-5
And Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus
unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. …
Judas then, having received a band of men
and officers from the chief priests and
Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and
torches and weapons.
