Acts 13:28-32
28 And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. 29 Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him from the dead. 31 He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people. 32 And we declare to you glad tidings—that promise which was made to the fathers.
Jesus was crucified innocent. This all happened because God said and arranged it. So Jesus had suffered and died in our place to give us credit for His righteousness - but He the rose from death to offer us life in His righteous, the very good news promised all along but hidden from our understanding. There is cause for death in all but Christ, and He died without cause so we can wear His righteousness! By His stripes we are spiritually healed from sin and death's scourge, and stand in this life by grace forever.
