the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;Interesting phrasing here, that rulers who understood God's wisdom wouldn't have crucified Christ. It raises some ideas for a hypothetical exercise. What would have happened if Pilate had understood who Christ was and why He had really come?
This implies that if Pilate had understood, he would have released Christ and He never would have been crucified. But that would mean that He never died for our sins, and therefore we would still stand condemned. So did God arrange things so Pilate couldn't have understood? Or did He time Christ's coming to be when he, who did not understand, would be ruling?
