God foreknew the Crucifixion, and even foretold it through certain of the Old Testament prophets, but let us never
blunder into thinking that because God foreknew it, he fore-designed it.

The truth is that God knew the mind of Satan, the archfiend antichrist, and the mind of his willing human tools.

He foreknew how his self-revelation in Christ would be abused.

That is, he foreknew the Crucifixion, permitted it, anticipated it, and overruled it to the accomplishment of his mighty
purpose to make an infinite atonement for the sin of his creatures.

Moreover, through his thus permitting and overruling that uninhibited operation of free will, the Cross became the
most utter exposure of the ugliness of sin at the same time as it effected the all-sufficient divine atonement for it.

Let it be said again: the Cross as a crucifixion is an act of man.

The Cross as an atonement is an act of God, and that is needing strong re-articulation today.

We are not saved by a crucifixion, but by the atonement to which that crucifixion gave concentrated visibility in the
overruling wisdom of God.

We are needing to emphasize more than ever that in and through the Calvary crucifixion God did something for our
human race which is of infinite significance for every human being.
