This Man Handed over to you!

Has anybody ever been terribly unfair to you? Have you ever been almost destroyed by the ruthless of another? You're not alone. The greatest offense ever committed against a man was what was done to Jesus by those who opposed Him. They turtured and killed the perfect Son of God. The amazing thing about the mistreatment of Jesus (and you) is the Father's ability to redeem it. Read (ACTS 2:23-24). Him, being delivered unto death, by God his heavenly Father, who not only permitted him to be put to death, but delivered him up for us all. Roman 8:32 devoted and gave him up, and yet he was approved of God, and there was nothing in this that implied in any degree, the disapproving of him

For it was done by determine counsel and foreknowledge of God. In infinite wisdom, and for holy ends, in which and in the means leading to them. Jesus himself freely and fully concurred, for it was necessary that thus divine justice should be satisfied. God and man reconciled sinners saved, and Christ himself glorified. It must be observed the apostle here anticipate an objection why did God suffer such a person to be so treated? Did be not know what wicked men intended to do? And had he not power to prevent it? Yea he know all that power to blast all their design in a moment. But he did not exert that power, because he so loved the world because it was the determinate counsel of His love to redeem mankind from eternal death, by the death of his only begotten Son. Ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified. Thus the apostle speak, because neither of God's foreknowing what they would do, nor his designing that his Son should be offered as a sacrifice to expiate the sin of mankind, nor his bringing unspeakable and everlasting good out of thy fact could be the best excuse their sin who were agent in it for it was the voluntary act and deed proceeding from a principle morally evil. And therefore they are justly. Said to have perpetrated it with wicked hands. It is probable so of tbose who had cried crucify him, crucify him, or who had been otherwise aiding and a betting in the murder, were here present, and that Peter know it. Be this as it may, it was justly looked upon as a National act, because done by the vote of the great council, and by the voice of the crowd, clamouring for his blood. From the gift of Holy ghost, Peter preaches unto them Jesus and here is the history of Christ. Here is an account of his death and suffering. Which they witness but few week before His death is considered as God act, and of wonderful grace and wisdom. Thus divine justice must be satisfied, God and men brought together again, and Christ himself glorified, according to an eternal counsel which could not be altered. And as the people act, in them it was an act awful sin and folly. God is bigger than the wrong men do. Human being were completely responsible for crucifying the Son of God. "You nailed [Him] to the cross. " Peter said, but God was sovereign over this, and infact had planned it before the foundation of the world. Christ was "delivred over by the  predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God." Do you see the two fit together! We do have an awsome God.
