(Acts 2:23)
“Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:”

The cross is not something that just happened by accident to Christ. He was delivered into the hands of angry sinners by God to do exactly what was done. The purpose of His birth was the death of the cross, that He might Redeem unto Himself a peculiar people. Particular Redemption of a peculiar people!

(Titus 2:14)
“Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”
