The counsel and foreknowledge of God do not lessen the responsibility of men, though shallow minds may be disposed to think so. And God can, if He please, make the devices of evil men work out His ways although He never originates the evil, for that would make Him the author of it. Israel's history illustrates these points.
Long before Isaac was born, God told Abraham that his seed should be strangers in a land that was not theirs, and that they would be oppressed four hundred years. Their stay in Egypt, therefore, was foreseen. In time, the brethren of Joseph conspired against him, and he was sold as a slave and carried down to Egypt. Later Jacob and the rest followed him there. Thus, by their hateful devices they helped to fulfill that which had been foreseen and foretold. But did that excuse their evil deed? Not at all. God's hand was not in their wickedness, though He made it sub-serve His ends—a very different thing.
So it was with putting to death the Lord Jesus. He was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, but this did not make those who crucified Him less responsible. God certainly did not move their hearts to do this; the devil did. But He made Satan's malice and man's hatred to work out His counsel, thus showing His wisdom, while leaving them wholly responsible for their deeds.
