The answer
God is all-good and all-wise. St. Clement of Alexandria says of the goodness of God that it means more than just God’s generous giving of benefits; it means that He transforms evil into goodness. This is what Joseph understood and explained to his brethren, telling them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive” (Gen. 50:19–20).
God took all the evil directed at His holy Son — the suffering, crucifixion, death, and burial of the Lord Christ — and transformed it into a way of salvation for all humanity.
