God did not orchestrate the Lord's death. This was Satan's doing. However, God used it to crush Satan as He promised in Genesis 3.
Here is a fuller quote for those interested:
"His Death, which Satan and the Jews contrived as the undermining of his Kingdom; that death pulled up the Pillars of Satan’s Kingdom. While they thought they were destroying Him, God was in and by Him destroying them and their Power. The great Gospel Promise was accomplished; while they were bruising his Heal, He broke Satan’s Head. Thus Peter acquaints us, his Death was the Death of Sin and Satan’s Power."
